- TriviaAt about 7 minutes in, the car overturns and catches fire. This is the same footage as used in Cross-Up (1954). Note that the car that burns is not the nice Jaguar they were driving. The burning car doesn't have the sleek curves of a Jag and the windows are nothing like the ones on the car we had just seen. They obviously weren't going to set fire to a nice Jaguar.
Actually, the whole car chase sequence that leads up to the crash is the same in both films with police car FNB 578 chasing Jaguar LXP 202. Notice the buildings, particularly as they take corners.
- GoofsNear the end, Sellars gets into taxi KGN 624 and, seconds later, gets out of taxi KGN 686.
Featured review
Very good
Jean (Elizabeh Sellars) witnesses the murder of her father, Talbot (Ian Fleming) by Nicholas (Kieran Moore) during a jewelry robbery. The man behind it all is Farnborough (Martin Benson) but Nicholas has kept back some jewels for himself to bargain with Farnborough so that they can become equal partners. Farnborough rejects his deal and so begins a rival gang-war. Meanwhile the police are after Talbot's killer and Nicholas gets his brother, Michael (Edward Underdown), to provide an alibi for him. Jean rents a room in the same house that Michael has a doctor's practice so that she can befriend Nicholas with the purpose of revealing him as the killer. Both brothers fall in love with her and this brings extra dramatic tension to the story.
The film follows how Jean gains Nicholas's confidence (with the police in the background), the war-fare between Fanborough and Nicholas's gangs, and the drama between Nicholas and his brother who don't see eye-to-eye. On a personal note, I didn't care much for the scenes with the mother (Ethel O'Shea) and I found it hard to believe that Nicholas and Michael were brothers because of their different accents! However, its a well-acted, tense story that is played out at a good speed.
