The Tell-Tale Heart is a British film made in 1953 based on the 1843 short story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe.[1] It lasts 20 minutes, and stars Stanley Baker who is also the sole member of the cast. Directed by J. B. Williams, the film was produced by Adelphi Films.[2][3]

It was believed lost until it became known in October 2018 that a 16mm copy was inadvertently bought in a Brighton junk shop in 1984 by Jeff Wells.[4][5][6]
