What happens

Man in the Shadow (U.S. title Violent Stranger) is a 1957 British second feature ('B') crime film directed by Montgomery Tully and starring Zachary Scott and Faith Domergue. It was written by Maisie Sharman. The film was retitled for the US market because of the release of the American film of the same name in the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
