Viewing Notes

A fun little British post-war crime thriller with a nice turn by a young Attenborough but also featuring uncredited bits by then unknown Dirk Bogard and Diana Dors as they were just starting out in their careers.

It’s fun to watch movies set in London since having gone on vacation there just a month and a half ago.
