Life for Ruth

Michael Craig and Patrick McGoohan give memorably fiery performances as ideological opposites fighting to save the life of a gravely injured young girl. Co-starring Janet Munro in a BAFTA-nominated performance. Badly injured in a boating accident, John and Pat Harris's daughter Ruth is rushed to hospital. They are told that an urgent blood transfusion is needed, but John refuses his consent on religious grounds - even though that would mean his daughter's certain death. (Network)
