EYEWITNESS is a solid woman-in-peril thriller of 1956, notable for featuring some strong performances from the assembled cast alongside some well judged comic relief. The setting is a hospital ward, where a woman has been hit by a bus and brought in for observation overnight. Unfortunately for her, she witnessed a murder just before her accident and now the two killers are outside and wanting to silence her for good. Donald Sinden and Nigel Stock are the villains of the hour and very good with it, and there's solid support from the gorgeous Belinda Lee playing the dedicated nurse. Only Michael Craig seems out of place, included in a sub-plot that turns out to be entirely extraneous. EYEWITNESS could have done with more suspense and plot development, but it manages to build to a satisfying climax which makes it worthwhile viewing.
