A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

John Thaws character reminded me slightly of George Cole in Too Many Crookston. He always seems to be making the wrong decision and his plans always go wrong.I still can't understand the logic of not taking the money from the bookies safe.It is certainly one of the more entertaining in the seriex

That's a long time now I have not commented an Edgard Wallace Mystery series episode. This one is perfectly in the line of the other shows. Complex, not too hard to follow however, a story of petty crooks who try and succeed to cheat one each other. Very well built, fast paced, we can watch here the young John Thaw, the famous inspector Reagan, from SWEENEY TV series, made in the seventies. He plays here a petty thief. It is directed by the curious Gordon Flemyng, who gave us some TV stuff including some AVENGERS episodes, Daleks adventures films - I never saw and never will - and also a surprising US thriller adapted from Richard Stark - Donald Westlake - THE SPLIT, starring Jim Brown, Gene Hackman and Donald Sutherland. Don't forget THE LAST GRENADE either, a rather good action flick starring Stanley Baker.I never saw from him THE GREAT CATHERINE.Back to this little crime movie, worth a look for gem lovers as I am.
