Gideon's Day (U.S. title: Gideon of Scotland Yard) is a 1958 police procedural crime film directed by John Ford and starring Jack Hawkins, Dianne Foster and Cyril Cusack.[1] The screenplay was by T.E.B. Clarke, adapted from John Creasey's 1955 novel of the same title.[2]
This was the first film to feature a character named George Gideon, but Jack Hawkins had played a similar role in the British film The Long Arm (1956) two years earlier. Gideon was later played by John Gregson in the TV series Gideon's Way.
