I Met a Murderer is a 1939 Britishthriller film directed by Roy Kellino and starring James Mason, Pamela Mason, Sylvia Coleridge and William Devlin. A man murders his oppressive wife and flees from the police. He meets a young woman who suspects his identity as the murderer, but conceals this because she wants to use the story for a book.[1] The film was shot on the Isle of Wight in 1939.[2]
Allmovie called it a "nerve-wracking British suspenser";[3] while TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars, noting, "Several novel twists in the tale of a fugitive on the run make this one fascinating."[4]
