Life for Ruth
Michael Craig and Patrick McGoohan give memorably fiery performances as ideological opposites fighting to save the life of a gravely injured young girl in Life for Ruth. Co-starring Janet Munro in a BAFTA-nominated performance, this tense, emotionally-charged drama from director Basil Dearden is featured here as a brand-new remaster from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Badly injured in a boating accident, John and Pat Harris's daughter Ruth is rushed to hospital. They are told that an urgent blood transfusion is needed, but John refuses his consent on religious grounds – even though that would mean his daughter's certain death.
