What happens
The Tell-Tale Heart is a 1953 British short film directed by J.B. Williams and starring Stanley Baker (the sole member of the cast). It was written by Williams based on the 1843 short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, and was produced by Adelphi Films. The film was believed lost until it became known in October 2018 that a 16mm copy was inadvertently bought in a Brighton junk shop in 1984 by Jeff Wells. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
