The Hand (1960 film)

The Hand is a 1960 British horror film directed by Henry Cass and starring Derek Bond and Ronald Leigh-Hunt.

The story begins during the Burma campaign (mislabeled as '1946'), in which three captured British soldiers are threatened with torture if they refuse to divulge military information.

Some time later, in post-War London, a gentleman of the night is found with his hand surgically removed and £500 in his pockets.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is a grisly mystery thriller of no great interest or authority, wordy, confused and only too slow.

"[3] Britmovie wrote, "this Ray Cooney scripted post-war revenge thriller opens promisingly enough but soon all tension and mystery is lost due to the predictable plot development and clumsy editing".
