The Brighton Strangler
Appearance
The Brighton Strangler is a 1945 American crime film directed by Max Nosseck and starring John Loder, June Duprez and Michael St. Angel.[1] In Britain an actor goes mad and tries to live out the life of the character he is playing by committing a string of murders.
This rather daft film has been championed since 2013 by the British movie podcast Attaboy Clarence, (named after the final line in It's A Wonderful Life) in which the Strangler's reading of the word "Canterbury..." has become the podcast's catchphrase.[citation needed]
