Eight O'Clock Walk (1954)

Meaning of title "Eight O'Clock Walk"

[8/10 · 20 August 2021]

I'm in agreement with most other people here that this is an excellent British post-war melodrama (based on a true story). I just wanted to add that the title "Eight O'Clock Walk" refers to the time (8.00 am) when executions used to be carried out in England. It basically alludes to a condemned man's walk to the gallows (or the electric chair).
