Subtitles: Length: 102 mins     Pulp Cinema: Unearthing the Lost Treasures of Film Noir! London 1946: The city is terrorized by a serial killer known as The Strangler. Already six women are dead at his hands, more are sure to follow. As the killer sends taunting post cards to Scotland Yard, the chief inspector must admit the terrifying truth: they have no clues, nothing to go on. Will the Strangler strike again before they uncover the madman's identity? This little-seen but highly regarded example of British film noir boasts a sparkling and witty screenplay by Emeric Pressburger -- one half of the legendary Powell-Pressburger team (The Red Shoes, Tales of Hoffman, Black Narcissus). Directed by Lawrence Huntington, a veteran of B-noirs like (The Patient Vanishes, Suspected Person, Man of the Run), Wanted For Murder is also know under the alternate title Voice in the Night. Reminiscent of Edgar Ulmer's Bluebeard, in its portrayal of a serial killer gradually succumbing to love for one of his chosen victims, Wanted For Murder also anticipates Alfred Hitcock's Strangers On a Train in several ways.
