Wikipedia article
'Noose for a Lady' is a 1953 British crime film directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Dennis Price, Rona Anderson and Ronald Howard. It is based on the novel 'Whispering Woman' by Gerald Verner.
Plot
The plot concerns an amateur detective Simon Gale (Price) who races against time to clear the name of his cousin, who is accused of murdering her husband.
Gale assembles all suspects in a single room in a large house and announces that one of them is a murderer. He then explains who is the murderer and how he reached that conclusion.
Cast
Critical reception
'TV Guide' called the film "Overly chatty"; 'Cinema Retro' found it "A quaint, clich ridden drama," concluding more positively, "yes, of course it creaks a little, but if nothing else its guaranteed to hold your attention for its succinct 70-minute runtime"; and 'DVD Beaver' saluted "A taut, complex whodunit with a brilliantly nerve-racking climax."
