The Hand

THE HAND. British horror film of 1960 directed by Henry Cass, starring Derek Bond and Ronald Leigh-Hunt. It was written by Ray Cooney and Tony Hilton. The story begins during the Burma campaign in which three captured British soldiers are threatened with torture if they refuse to divulge military information. Two refuse and have their hands chopped off. Sometime later (in post-War London) a gentleman of the night is found with his hand surgically removed and £500 in his pockets. This begins a criminal investigation, returning the plot to the opening situation
