My Death Is a Mockery is a 1952 British second feature ('B')[1] crime film directed by Tony Young and starring Donald Houston, Kathleen Byron and Bill Kerr.
It attracted notoriety as the film watched by Christopher Craig earlier in the day on which he shot dead a policeman during a failed burglary.
A struggling Brixham fisherman, he was persuaded by an Australian chancer to switch to smuggling brandy from the French coast.
"[4] Picturegoer wrote: "Surely stories about smuggling should pack a thrill, or else pursue a comedy course on the lines of Whisky Galore!
Donald Houston as the boat's captain is quite acceptable, but Kathleen Byron is completely wasted in the role of his young wife.
