Emergency (1962)
Director: Francis Searle
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Dim little drama about an injured child awaiting a blood transfusion (rare blood group, naturally) and the police round-up of donors - including, would you believe it, a convicted killer and an atomic scientist in jeopardy - who save her life. Meanwhile, of course, the anguished parents patch up their marital problems. Any resemblance to Emergency Call of 1952 is hardly coincidental, since both films were produced by British B movie specialists Butcher's.Author: TM
