Spaceways 1953

Howard Duff, known to posterity as the definitive radio Sam Spade, stars as a pioneering space engineer embroiled in murder and espionage in this early '50s Hammer Space Noir. Co-starring Hungarian screen siren Eva Bartok and a very on-form Alan Wheatley as a bullish intelligence operative, Spaceways has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives.Stephen Mitchell, chief engineer on the world’s first space station, has the bad luck to be married to a gold-digging shrew. When an unmanned rocket fails re-entry at the same time as his wife and a fellow scientist go missing, Stephen is accused of killing them both and hiding their bodies in the orbiting spacecraft.
