About
To the Public Danger is a 1948 British drama film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Dermot Walsh , Susan Shaw and Barry Letts . It was made at Highbury Studios as a second feature for release by the Rank Organisation . Like other Highbury productions, it offered acting opportunities for several of Rank's young contract stars. The film's sets were designed by Don Russell , although a number of the scenes were shot on location. It was based on a 1939 radio play by the writer Patrick Hamilton , who had been encouraged to write the story as part of a government road safety campaign. Hamilton had himself been knocked down by a drunk driver . The story was updated slightly, and represents the post-war malaise with the use of noirish sequences. After making the film Fisher graduated to directing several more expensive productions for Gainsborough Pictures .
