Autorentext
Victor Gunn (eigentlich Edwy Searles Brooks, * 11. November 1889 in Hackney, London; 2. Dezember 1965 in London) war ein britischer Schriftsteller. 1963/64 entstand der deutsche Film DAS WIRTSHAUS VON DARTMOOR nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Victor Gunn mit Paul Klinger als Inspektor Cromwell. Die Filmhandlung weicht jedoch stark von der Romanvorlage ab; so wurde unter anderem die Figur des Johnny Lister gänzlich gestrichen.
