Breath of Life is a 1963 British second feature ('B')[1] film directed and written by J. Henry Piperno and starring George Moon, Larry Martyn and April Wilding.[2]
Garage mechanic Freddie gives the kiss of life to an abandoned baby, and saves its life. Twenty years pass, and the grown child – Tony – is arrested for theft and put on probation. Despite Freddie's continued help and kindness, Tony pursues a life of crime, and involves Freddie's children, Harry and Monica, in a bank robbery, where he kills the cashier. Tony and his gang escape, but the stolen money is taken by a rival gang. Together with accomplice Spud, Tony, Harry and Monica head for London, where they are arrested and tried. Tony is sentenced to death, Harry is imprisoned and Monica is acquitted. Freddie reflects on the breath of life he gave to baby Tony.
