Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Doctor Morelle (also known as Dr. Morelle: The Case of the Missing Heiress) is a 1949 British second feature ('B') mystery film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Valentine Dyall, Julia Lang, Peter Drury and Hugh Griffith. Made by Hammer Films, it was written by Ambrose Grayson and Roy Plomley, based on Wilfred Burr's stage play and Ernest Dudley's long-running BBC radio series, which had originally starred Dennis Arundell and then Heron Carvic. It was considered a lost film, but it subsequently resurfaced on internet video sites circa 2014, courtesy of "The Video Ghost", a video uploader who re-uploads vintage radio shows and films.
