The Man Who Finally Died is a 1963 British CinemaScope thriller film directed by Quentin Lawrence and starring Stanley Baker, Peter Cushing, Mai Zetterling and Eric Portman.
Everyone Joe approaches to find answers, including Police Inspector Hofmeister and insurance agent Brenner, is reluctant to talk and give more details concerning the circumstances of his father.
It is now revealed by von Brecht and Lisa that his father didn’t manage to escape two years ago, but swapped places with another escapee when mortally wounded.

Under Quentin Lawrences very laboured direction, a number of talented players (and several untalented ones) heave and grimace to little effect, while the music underlines every plot switch just like the bad old days.
