Mind you, bu the humble standards of the British quickie, this one is not too bad at all.
In fact, the acting is very good, and Maya Koumani is certainly worth a second look.
The story, adapted from Laurence Meynell's novel, "One Step from Murder", certainly holds audience interest adequately, and the photography by Geoffrey Faithfull is certainly up to his usual high standard.
As for the direction by Montgomery Tully, all I can say that it is neither good nor bad. "Adequate", I guess you could say.
The film has a length of 6,604 feet, which would translate to around 73 minutes. That's a bit high for a supporting feature in the quota quickie class, but nonetheless it's still worth seeing if you have time on your hands or you're a fan of June Thorburn.
Gordon Jackson is his usual self and the support cast is surprisingly large by quota quickie standards.
