I happened to see Chain of Events when it was first released back in 1958 as a supporting feature, and have been anxiously waiting to see it again. I purchased a copy on DVD as soon as it was released and was not disappointed. It is a brilliant thriller beginning with a nondescript bank teller who fails to pay his bus fare and progresses through blackmail, a car chase, and ending up with a death. Brilliantly directed by Gerald Thomas from a play by Leo McKern. Dermot Walsh is excellent as the bank teller and is well supported by a good cast. Ballard Berkeley (The Major from Fawlty Towers) even has a small part. All in all an excellent little thriller.
