Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe screenplay was adapted from the 1960 Associated Television Theatre 70 (1960) teleplay The Gold Inside (1960) by Jacques Gillies, also directed by Quentin Lawrence, and featuring André Morell (Colonel Gore-Hepburn) and Richard Vernon (Mr. Pearson) in the same roles.
- GoofsAlthough failing to shut the inner vault door should result in a burglar alarm going off after 30 seconds, a full 41 tension-filled seconds elapse before Fordyce closes it without triggering the alarm.
- Alternate versionsThe UK theatrical release in 1963 (two years after the U.S. release) cut the running time down to 67 minutes, eliminating character scenes involving Fordyce and the bank employees (including an early conflict between Fordyce and Pearson over allegedly falsified records, and Fordyce's subsequent denial of Pearson's request for a recommendation to transfer to a London branch).

a solid caper flick
When I was a teenager, Peter Cushing was my favorite actor; I simply loved his commanding performances in Hammer Studios' horror films. But when I eventually became more interested in dramas and foreign flicks, my appreciation for both Cushing and Hammer waned. I started to wish that Cushing had taken meatier roles in less lurid movies.
Thankfully, I just had the chance to see "Cash on Demand," a film that stretches Cushing's acting ability farther than most of his horror efforts. It's still a genre film you could label it a crime/film noir movie but nevertheless, it's got far more dramatic content and character development than the average Hammer film. Cushing is really superb as the cantankerous bank manager; his character is initially quite unpleasant, but as the plot unfolds he becomes gradually, genuinely more sympathetic.
It would be remiss of me to praise Cushing and forget to mention Andre Morell, who plays the debonair bank robber. His performance is wonderfully smug and, for lack of a better word, cool. The two actors have a great rapport throughout the movie, and together they hold the viewer's attention without the aid of any flashy sets or action sequences.
Clearly a modest movie, made for less money than it takes to film a TV show today, "Cash on Demand" is nevertheless a solid caper flick that deserves the attention of movie fans particularly those who, like me, are interested in seeing Cushing flex his acting muscles outside the realm of vampires and other forms of animated corpses.
