Mine Own Executioner is a 1960 Australian television play based on Nigel Balchin's 1945 novel of the same name. It was shot in Melbourne, at a time when Australian drama was rare.
Plot
Psychiatrist Felix Milne (Brian James) is treating a schizophrenic ex-war pilot Adam Lucian (Edward Brayshaw). Felix and his wife Pat (June Brunell) are incompatible, but he is attracted to Barbara (Beverley Phillips), wife of Peter Edge, who are friends of the Milnes. After Adam makes two attempts to kill his wife, she begs Felix to treat her husband.
