Mantrap, released in the United States as Man in Hiding, is a 1953 British second feature[1] whodunit directed by Terence Fisher, starring Paul Henreid and Lois Maxwell.

[2] It was written by Fisher and Paul Tabori based on the 1952 novel Queen in Danger by Trevor Dudley-Smith.

A falsely convicted murderer escapes prison to seek out the real killer and to clear his name.

[citation needed] Paul Henreid previously starred in Stolen Face (1952), also directed by Fisher, for similarly low salary and royalties.

Lois Maxwell plays a wife who changes her name and begins a new life after her husband is convicted of murder.
