{"product_id":"never-too-late-to-mend","title":"Never Too Late To Mend","description":"Fond of the whip, the isolation chamber, straight jackets and starvation tactics, Squire Meadows is the sadistic governor of a Victorian prison who relishes making the lives of his prisoners a torturous hell. He's also a dishonorable lecher scheming to marry Susan, a beautiful village girl. She's deeply in love with someone else - a handsome but poverty-stricken man named George, who is forced to work in far-away Australia so he can earn enough money to wed her. The evil squire intercepts George's long-distance love letters and coerces Susan into marrying him. News reaches the squire that George is making his way back home (and is now a wealthy man). Learing exposure, Meadows determines to destroy George before he can return.\u003cp\u003eA gruesome and deliciously lurid thriller, \u003ci\u003eNever Too Late To Mend\u003c\/i\u003e places the spotlight firmly on Tod Slaughter, an often-overlooked British horror film star whose performances are always bursting with over-the-top melodrama. The film is based on the writings of Charles Reade, which inspired Queen Victoria to overhaul the deplorable conditions of the era's prison system. Scottish-born director David MacDonald later helmed the unusual British sci-fi thriller \u003ci\u003eDevil Girl From Mars\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as episodes of the eerie Boris Karloff TV-series \"The Veil.\" Script writer H.F. Maltby also wrote the dialogue for Tod Slaughter's \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrimes At The Dark House.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45799891271830,"sku":"089218461599","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218461599.jpg?v=1762117269","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/never-too-late-to-mend","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
