I taped Mark Of the Phoenix when ITV screened it during the early hours some time ago. They often used to screen these British crime B movies, but don't seem to now for some reason.
In this one, a jewel thief gets hold of a cigarette case made from a new type of metal. Police are on his trail and it turns out that the metal this case is made from is atomic.
This is one of the slightly better crime dramas made during this period and the fact that the metal the case is made from being atomic is certainly not surprising as the Atomic Age was at its height.
I've only heard of one of the stars of this movie, Anton Diffring (Circus of Horrors).
Mark of the Phoenix is a good time filler one evening. Not too bad.
Rationg: 3 stars out of 5.
