The Roof is a 1933 British crime film directed by George A. Cooper and starring Leslie Perrins, Judy Gunn, Russell Thorndike and Michael Hogan. It was written by H. Fowler Mear based on the 1933 novel of the same title by David Whitelaw.
The film was shot at Twickenham Studios in London as a quota quickie for release by RKO Pictures. The film's sets were designed by Twickenham's resident art director James A. Carter.
The Daily Film Renter wrote: Action sluggish, while overplus of some irrelevant dialogue hardly helps. Acting smacks of old-time stage, save for promising performance by Judy Gunn, newcomer of obvious talent. Direction uninspired. Moderate entertainment for indulgent patrons."
Picturegoer wrote: "Rather stretches the long arm of coincidence but is competently acted."
