Six Hours to Live

Six Hours to Live is a 1932 American pre-Code science fiction drama film directed by William Dieterle and starring Warner Baxter, Miriam Jordan and John Boles. It is based on the story "Auf Weidersehen" by Gordon Morris and Morton Barteaux.

Plot

Paul Onslow, an ambassador from a small mythical country, stands in the way of an international trade agreement because it would be ruinous for his nation. He receives several threats and on the eve of the final vote he is murdered. A visiting scientist who has invented a special ray restores Onslow to life for six hours. Rather than take revenge on his killer, Onslow devotes his short reprieve to good deeds, including convincing his fiancee to forget him and marry another man; casting his vote against the trade agreement; and destroying the scientist's machine.
