Too Dangerous to Live is a 1939 British crime film directed by Anthony Hankey and Leslie Norman and starring Sebastian Shaw, Anna Konstam and Reginald Tate.[1][2] The screenplay was by Leslie Arliss, Connery Chappell and Paul Gangelin based on the novel Crime Unlimited by David Hume.
A private detective goes undercover by joining a gang of burglars.
Kine Weekly wrote: "The direction is as competent as the acting, no grass is allowed to grow under the story; it works smoothly and excitingly to its spectacular climax. Secret passages mysterious radio stations, aeroplanes, sinister hideouts, death by electrocution, and attempt at a death by arson are but the most easily remembered paraphernalia and phases of the eventful and hair-raising entertainment."[3]
