The Large Rope

Released from prison after serving a 3 year sentence for a crime which he did not commit, Tom Penney returns to his village only to find himself shunned by the locals and his former girlfriend about to get married. When a local girl is murdered, the finger points at him.

Decent rural crime drama, which rises above its typically low budget, with an unexpected twist before the end. Good use is made of the scenery and there are some familiar names in the cast which is headed by Donald Houston as the tense Penney and Susan Shaw as his ex.
