Hamilton Dyce as George Bone in The Gentle Killer from the book by PAMELA BARRINGTON adapted by Mollie Greenhalgh
George Bone , a gentle little man, middle-aged and unmarried, is employed as chief clerk to a firm of solicitors. For more than twenty years his work has constituted his sole interest in life, but with the passing years he has developed a strange and overpowering neurosis; he is obsessed with the desire to kill the man he has always feared, hated, and envied.
