Emergency Call (1952)
Director: Lewis Gilbert
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Three pints from a rare blood group are desperately sought to save a child's life. Slick enough as a thriller, but the script - with the potential donors a black with a chip on his shoulder, a boxer about to throw a fight, and a murderer on the run - is pure novelettish crap.Author: TM
