Three Steps to the Gallows is a 1953 British second feature[1] crime film directed by John Gilling and starring Scott Brady, Mary Castle and Gabrielle Brune.

An American merchant ship officer on shore leave in London learns that his brother is about to be hanged in three days and sets out to prove his innocence against an organised smuggling gang based in a nightclub.

It was produced by the Tempean Films and made at the Southall Studios with sets designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold.

"[4] Picture Show wrote: "Scott Brady excels as the star and Mary Castle is attractive in the leading feminine role.

Brady gives a forceful show of muscles and brain; Mary Castle – the girl who looks like Rita Hayworth – makes pleasant company.
