36 Hours, released in the United States as Terror Street, is a 1953 British film noir directed by Montgomery Tully and starring Dan Duryea. It was made by Hammer Film Productions.[1]
Bill Rogers (Dan Duryea), an American jet pilot stationed in the USA, goes absent without leave and heads to England to find out why he hasn't heard from his wife lately. He learns details that suggest she has left him and is living a life that involves several male "friends". She shows up to meet him at her new flat, but then he is suddenly knocked unconscious from behind. When he awakes he finds that his wife has been murdered and that he is the prime suspect. With only 36 hours at his disposal, Rogers takes it upon himself to track down the actual killer.
