"There's a problem I've got to clear up first"
17 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Roger Fenton is an ex-convict who now works respectably in a small town near London. His boss approves highly of him and the boss's young wife also does but he meets a nice woman Audrey and everything is going well for him. Then an old face from prison nicknamed The Slug turns up and wants some money to keep Roger's past as a gaolbird a secret. This leads to murder eventually. Roger Fenton becomes a man caught in a web. It's a good film.

Gordon Jackson is suitably wrought as Roger and is supported well by the luminous June Thorburn as Audrey and Llewellyn Rees as his boss H.G. Equally good is Sam Kydd as The Slug who although a blackmailer and a killer he is more to be pitied than condemned. A low budget film but it still tells a good yarn in it's 73 minutes, directed by the under rated Montgomery Tully.
