A typical 1950s crime film with a mixture of very posh folk and common people. This type of 1950s film always has a moral to end with, it usually being that crime does not pay, no sailing off into the sunset with a dolly bird in a yacht bought with ill gotten gains for a baddie in the 1950s. The initial £200 blackmail money is about £7,000 in 2022. Sydney is often a supporting actor so nice to see him in the lead for a change and he does a very good job, Sid is the go to man for those looking to cast a less menacing character than than that often played by Stanley Baker. Very well worth a watch.
