The Price of Silence is a 1960 British crime film directed by Montgomery Tully, and starring Gordon Jackson and June Thorburn, with Mary Clare, Maya Koumani Sam Kydd and Terence Alexander in supporting roles.
Seeing a book on a park bench he decides to change his name by deed poll to Roger Fenton in order to make a clean start.
In the course of his work he encounters the young Mrs Shipley who takes an instant shine to him in preference to her elderly husband who is a partner in the firm.
Kine Weekly said "The tale, competently portrayed and adequately directed, contains comedy and romance, but its asides are never permitted to cloud the main issue or rob the climax of punch.
"[4] Monthly Film Bulletin said "The situation of this mediocre suspense thriller pursues a rambling, rather unconvincing course towards an inevitable conclusion, while the cast strive hard and more or less in vain to give their characters an authoritative ring.
One of the more maligned quickie stalwarts, Montgomery Tully directs with little urgency but Geoffrey Faithfull brings a craftsman's eye to the visuals.
