The Brown Wallet

The Brown Wallet is a 1936 British crime film, directed by Michael Powell and starring Patric Knowles.

The Brown Wallet, adapted from a short story by Stacy Aumonier, was one of over 20 quota quickies directed by Powell between 1931 and 1936.

It is among eleven of these films of which no extant print is known to survive, and its current status is "missing, believed lost".
