      Kathleen Harrison's final film.
    • Alternate versions
      The opening robbery scene was cut by 26 seconds for the British theatrical release, as the BBFC was worried that it was detailed enough for children to learn criminal skills from it.

    A pleasant enough near 90 minutes
    'The London Connection' is enjoyable.

    It's nothing fancy and is very silly/dorky/clunky/whatever, but I found it to be a pleasant enough near 90 minutes. Not that they are the same, but it's a Disney film that gave me similar vibes to the studio's other flick 'Midnight Madness'; which was, in fact, released a mere matter of months after this - so that makes sense.

    It's a good cast. You have a well executed performance from Jeffrey Byron as lead, while the rest of the onscreen talent - spearheaded by Larry Cedar - are all solid. It's also interesting to see Roy Kinnear and David Battley together as a pairing, given they both appeared (though not next to each other) in 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' eight years prior.

    Worth a watch, it is. It's paced nicely and has a neat score; even if parts of the latter do feel out of place in parts.
