Night Without Pity is a 1961 British crime film directed by Theodore Zichy and starring Sarah Lawson, Neil McCallum, Alan Edwards and Michael Browning.[1]
Crooks O'Brien and Randall break into Diana Martin's home to steal her husband's factory keys. Diana is alone with her small son, who, frightened by the intruders, falls from his bedroom window and is concussed. Diana agrees to hand over the keys if she can phone a doctor. O'Brien stays while Randall goes to rob the factory. When the doctor arrives he tries to overpower O'Brien, but he is knocked unconscious.
Meanwhile, Randall has got the loot and decided to doublecross O'Brien and flee. O'Brien forces Diana to drive after him. When Randall stops at a garage he and O'Brien fight, but when O'Brien has defeated him Diana threatens O'Brien with his own gun until the police arrive.
