So-so quota quickie. typical of its type, whose plot has been well covered in other reviews, so just a few things to add. Great location work around docklands, and nearby parts of 50s London, and I didn't think it paced itself too badly. On the down side, though the plot itself is reasonably coherent, there's plenty that doesn't quite ring true, in line with films of the genre. There's the villain with his much younger moll, whom he appears to treat as a slave, so that he never has to leave his seat - she even holds the phone for him while talks into it. There's the Mr Big, who, as soon as he pulls out a gun, you just know he's going to the world's worst shot, and will bungle his advantage. There's the final, frantic ten minutes, in which there will be a chase and a fist fight, the hero will when and then....well you know what's next, There seemed to a law for such films that there has be an implausible whirlwind romance between the two lead characters. and, when these two meet by chance for the first time in a bar, you know that they will declare their love for each other about half an hour later (okay, maybe two days later, but having spent no more than about half an hour together during those two days.). Perhaps that's what the viewing public wanted in those days, I just want to be surprised one day by a film like this in which the cops get the baddies despite the two leads not being able to stand the sight of each other. Anyway, it's a watchable hour, if only for the look of it.
