Night Was Our Friend

Sally Raynor's aviator husband Martin has been missing for two years and is believed dead, during which time she has fallen in love with a local doctor, John Harper, whom she plans to marry.

Sally asks Martin to agree to treatment, but the thought of losing his freedom, as happened in Brazil, terrifies him, and he begs her to help him by finding another way.

Although innocent of his death, Sally is haunted by guilt and, even after a jury clears her of murder, she is hesitant to marry the doctor she loves.

It was considered above average for a B film,[citation needed] and was shown on the Odeon circuit of cinemas and also given a release in the United States.

[citation needed] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A poorly written, stagey and improbable melodrama, told in flashback.

The plot is weakened by improbabilities, but Elizabeth Sellars, as the unfortunate wife, puts in such a good performance that disbelief is dulled.
