Small time criminal Harry Carpenter is killed on the streets of Soho, a woman spots a blind man leaving the scene of the crime, Inspector Napier begins a search for the man, who could well hold the vital clue.
For a short and a so called b movie, this was rather good, a really interesting, well plotted storyline, and some really great visuals, very much in the noir style.
I loved the way that Edgar Lustgarten introduced Soho as .... interesting, but not too bad, I'd love to know what he'd make of it now.
Some imaginative techniques used in the visuals, for 1954, this was way ahead of its time, it's surprisingly striking looking. The lineup scene was so well shot.
It's always interesting to see the way attitudes have changed, the way Napier treats George Benson is rather interesting to say the least.
Always good to see a young Vincent Ball, who played Sergeant Gifford, what a smart guy.
One of the best I've seen so far.
8/10.
