Links of Justice is a 1958 British film directed by Max Varnel and starring Jack Watling and Sarah Lawson. [1]
Edgar Mills and his mistress Stella plot to murder Edgar's wealthy wife Clare. But best laid go awry, and Edgar ends up dead. Clare becomes prime suspect, but is able to prove she acted in self-defence when a burglar who witnessed the crime comes forward.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "With its flashback technique and parade of character cameos from the witnesses this second feature maintains average interest through its use of deft, if obvious structural tricks which it would be unfair to disclose. But it then overplays its hand by bringing in a further improbable coincidence. Direction and performances are efficient, but unexceptional." [2]
Allmovie wrote, "Chalk up another serviceable second-feature British melodrama for the production team of Edward and Harry Danzinger." [3]
