Fast-Moving, Anyway
1 October 2020
It's a well-planned job to steal half a million quid in diamonds -- mastermind Bruce Seton has arranged to sell it for a hundred grand -- and it looks like it should go very well. Part of the plan calls for James Kenney to romance the jeweler's secretary, Jean Harvey. He's a good-looking youngster, no record, a retiring manner, and brother-in-law of Michael Brennan, part of the small gang. However, another, larger, more dangerous mob have gotten wind of it.

It has an obnoxious score, but everyone looks right, and they're good enough actors to keep this cheap second feature moving right along. I looked at a 55-minute version. This means that 17 minutes were cut from the original, probably to fit it into a TV one-hour slot; this probably erased some needed explanations, and probably character development, but the story moves like lightning.
