Wonderful Crime Drama
6 November 2020
Terrence Morgan crashes an embassy party, and seduces the ambassador's daughter. She's in love, and agrees to help him steal a hundred thousand pounds from the embassy's safe. Since Morgan is also carrying on numerous other affairs, he acquires a crew, thanks to John Crawford. As they ready their job, everyone reveals a plan to swindle everyone else, except for cracksman William Hartnell.

Wolf Rilla's crime drama is a fine, seedy affair, with the heart of the theft done in silence, which is a relief from Phillip Green's intrusive and annoying score. Yôko Tani, John Crawford, Mai Zetterling and Dennis Price round out a fine cast, and Ernest Steward's gloomy and threatening lighting of Underground tunnels helps the mood.
