Hangover Square (film)

Hangover Square is a 1945 film noir directed by John Brahm, based on the novel Hangover Square 1941 by Patrick Hamilton. The screenplay was written by Barr Lyndon who made a number of changes to the novel, including the transformation of George Harvey Bone into a classical composerpianist and filming the story as an early 20thcentury period piece.

In Victorian London the date 1899 is shown in the opening scene, the police suspect that a composer who suffers from periods of amnesia may be a murderer.The period setting creates a dark mood, especially in the key scene when Bone portrayed by Laird Cregar, having strangled Netta Linda Darnell on Guy Fawkes Night, carries her wrapped body through streets filled with revelers and deposits it on top of the biggest bonfire. ........
