familiar stuff but entertainingly done

Warning: Spoilers
whilst it has to be said that this film uses many situations that even in 1947 were clichés,nevertheless this is a well made and entertaining film.You always know what the characters are up to.So when Attenborough meets up with army buddy Bill Owen,you get the feeling immediately that Owen is up to no good.Owen is shot and then crawls into Attenboroughs cab where he bleeds to death.So unfortunately the next fare gets a rather nasty shock.Everyone seems to be playing to their type,Garry Marsh as a jovial policeman and Danny Green who enjoys taking people for a ride.The only problems are that Attenborough doesn't look too convincing in the fight scenes,and you have to wonder why the gang would try to hunt him down since it only makes him a lot more suspicious.
