(Henry Levin, 1951) Release date: 22 April 2024 Standard Edition Blu-ray
Lee J Cobb (Sirocco) and John Derek (Knock on Any Door) star in The Family Secret, a classic film noir set in the legal world.
Law student David (Derek) kills his best friend in self-defence, confessing to his father (Cobb), a criminal lawyer, who advises him to go to the police. His mother, however, tells him to keep quiet, and his moral dilemma deepens further when an innocent man is accused of the killing, potentially facing the death penalty.
Produced by Humphrey Bogart’s Santana Pictures, and directed by Henry Levin (Convicted), The Family Secret is a riveting exploration of guilt and family tensions.
