Hawletts' Yard, contrary to some reports on the internet, was actually built on the Pinewood Studios back lot, just to the north of 'H' Stage. This is approximately where the massive '007' Stage stands today. moreGoofs:

I've seen this film twice. I'd like to see it again.
The look of the film-quality is that of many other British films around the same time period. It's dark and grainy (think "Frankenstein"). It makes for pleasant viewing, because of the tenseness provided the whole way.
The story is convoluted (and as someone else mentioned, where are the police?) and the film is sped up sometimes when they are driving, but you won't care - as the film is tense and there is a lot of action prevailing.
The film is loaded with stars-to-be. Sean Connery and Patrick McGoohan just to name two. Come on, you HAVE to watch this!
It seems the film is available in Region 2 on DVD, but it's not available in the US. Well it will be someday I hope.
