Paul Banner: Look, Judy, I don't know the object of this visitation, but I would like to point out that it's one o'clock in the morning and that your husband might conceivably misconstrue the purity of your motives.
Judy: What a pompous little speech, darling. Can I have a cigarette?
Featured review
an exciting yarn that always keeps it's dark secrets one jump ahead of the viewer!
An innocent boy larking about near a spookily deserted church witnesses a murder, and then finds himself the very next victim of the callous, cold-hearted killer, desperate to cover their bloody tracks! Capable director Charles Saunders's limber, far-from lugubrious crime thriller is a tautly written, sprightly little British-made B-Picture with more than enough shadowy intrigue to blissfully envelop ardent thriller fans within its dark and desperate mysteries, and stalwart, quick-quipping, street savvy journalist Paul Banner (Paul Carpenter ) makes for an engaging, stoically sleuthing hero, one not only after the plaudits gleaned from breaking a major story, but morally driven to bring this nefarious, cold-hearted murderer to book. Charles Saunders's 'One Jump Ahead' remains an exciting yarn that always keeps it's dark secrets one jump ahead of the viewer, and I greatly enjoyed the knock-about scene with the charismatic hard nut Freddie Mills!
