What Life for Ruth Is About
John Harris’s daughter Ruth is taken to hospital in a serious condition. What would save her life is a blood transfusion, and Harris does not consent to it. The reason is his religious belief, which forbids taking blood. Ruth dies and the father is put on trial. At the same time the people around him shut him out. Doctor Brown regards it as a needless death and will not let it go. The film does not settle in advance which side is right; it shows the decision and what it cost. Michael Craig and Patrick McGoohan appear in Basil Dearden’s British film of 1962, ninety three minutes long.
