Two crime drama tales of plans for a murder gone wrong. In the first story, a man plots to murder his daughter's blackmailer and then himself. In the second story, a doctor hypnotizes a man who's been having an affair with his wife to kill her, or hopefully she will kill him. Originally released to television as individual episodes of "The Vise".
Directed by David MacDonald, Final Column leans on a strong ensemble — Ron Randell, John Longden, Jeanette Sterke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1955.
