Murder in the Old Red Barn ★ Maria Marten 1936

Based on the real murder of an unassuming girl by a randy squire. Stiff, melodramatic performances are bad enough, but the play-style production, unfamiliar to modern viewers, is the last nail in this one's coffin. 67m/B VHS, DVD . GB Tod Slaughter, Sophie Stewart, D.J. Williams, Eric Portman; D: Milton Rosmer.
