Jackpot (1960)
5/10
An interesting undiscovered British crime film
9 October 2020
A known fellon and thief (George Mikell) returns to London and demands money from a former associate (Eddie Byrne) who's the big shot owner of the 'The Jackpot Club', but refuses to hand him his owed money. He convinces another former associate (Michael Ripper), the owner of a worker's caff and now gone straight to help him rob the the club's safe.

A little seen low budget British crime film that holds the viewer's attention throughout and includes a finale shot at the Arsenal footaball stadium Gillespie Road grounds.

William Hartnell who would go onto play the future first Doctor Who three years after this film has a strong part as the police inspector. The film was recently restored and is better than the previously available print, but there are clearly several frames missing from the film.
