Vengeance Is Mine is a 1949 British second feature crime drama film directed by Alan Cullimore and starring Valentine Dyall, Anne Firth and Richard Goolden.
Charles Heywood is a wrongly imprisoned businessman who is told by his doctors that he is dying. He constructs an elaborate plan to hire a hitman to kill him and then frame his former partner, who put him behind bars.
Monthly Film Bulletin said "This absurd story is not helped by the lugubrious playing of Valentine Dyall as Charles; overstressing of the comic relief and third-rate acting destroy any remaining likelihood of reality."
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928âÂÂ1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "poor", writing: "Absurd thriller: even the cast don't seem enthusiastic."
