Condemned to Death is a 1932 British crime film directed by Walter Forde and starring Arthur Wontner, Gillian Lind and Gordon Harker.[1] It was adapted from the play Jack O'Lantern by James Dawson which was itself based on a 1929 novel by George Goodchild.

Thought to have been lost, "a cut version dubbed in French" was found as a result of a 1992 British Film Institute campaign to locate missing movies.[2]
