Saloon Bar is a 1940 British comedy thriller film directed by Walter Forde and starring Gordon Harker, Elizabeth Allan and Mervyn Johns.
The action takes place in London over one evening in the saloon bar of the Cap & Bells pub, just before Christmas.
Convinced of the condemned man's innocence, and led by bookie Joe Harris, they trace how the note came to be there and unmask the true killer.
Kine Weekly said "Gordon Harker is the chief spokesman and has never been in better form; neither has the well-chosen supporting cast.
Director Walter Forde makes effective use of the claustrophobic set to build tension, and he is well served by an efficient cast of suspects.
