The Last Man to Hang

(Australia and New Zealand title: The Amazing Daphne Strood) is a 1956 crime film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Tom Conway and Elizabeth Sellars.

[2][3] It was produced by John Gossage for Act Films Ltd.[4] Music critic Sir Roderick Strood is having an affair with a beautiful singer, Elizabeth Anders.

One protracted jury room scene recalls the play for television Twelve Angry Men, which had been shown on US TV in 1954.
