Strangers' Meeting
Overview: A fateful Stranger's Meeting leads to a maelstrom of crime, deception and murder in this 64-minute British programmer.

The genuine murderer is revealed just seconds before the culprit's death. Stranger's Meeting was held back from release until Robert Day's "official" directorial debut, The Green Man, had made the rounds.
