The Black Widow is a 1951 British thriller, directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Christine Norden and Robert Ayres. The film was a Bmovie production by Hammer Film Productions and was based on a radio serial entitled Return from Darkness.

Sherwin regains consciousness, but is suffering from complete amnesia with no idea of his own identity or how he came to be found in such a remote location. The farm owner and his daughter agree to look after Sherwin while he recuperates. The police investigate missing persons reports but find no case to match Sherwins age and physical description. Some days later Sherwin is on the mend, and happens to find in his overcoat pocket a ticket stub from a theatre in a town some 50 miles away. Hoping to find some clue as to his identity, he takes a train to the town and walks the streets to see whether anything will jog his memory.He comes across a house which he seems to recognise and walks in through the unlocked door. Inside he finds a flowercovered coffin in the front room. A woman Norden enters and on seeing Sherwin, screams and faints. This jolts Sherwins memory back into gear and he recognises the woman as his wife Christine, who has believed him dead since there was no reason for anybody to consider that the body found in the burnedout car was not his. ........
