Wiki.
Time Without Pity is a 1957 British film noir thriller film about a father trying to save his son from execution for murder.
The film was directed by expatriate American Joseph Losey after he was blacklisted in the U.S. during the McCarthy era. Time Without Pity was Losey's second film in Britain and his first under his own name. The film stars Michael Redgrave, Ann Todd, Leo McKern, Paul Daneman, Peter Cushing, Alec McCowen and Renee Houston. It was the second film for which British cinematographer Freddie Francis was credited in that craft (the British credit is simply for "photography"). Joan Plowright appears briefly as a feisty chorus girl and Lois Maxwell, the first Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond films, also has a standout scene as a girl who can be bought.
The screenplay was written by fellow blacklisted writer Ben Barzman and adapted from the play Someone Waiting by Emlyn Williams.
