Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt about 7 minutes in, the car overturns and catches fire. This is the same footage as used in Cross-Up (1954). Note that the car that burns is not the nice Jaguar they were driving. The burning car doesn't have the sleek curves of a Jag and the windows are nothing like the ones on the car we had just seen. They obviously weren't going to set fire to a nice Jaguar.
Actually, the whole car chase sequence that leads up to the crash is the same in both films with police car FNB 578 chasing Jaguar LXP 202. Notice the buildings, particularly as they take corners.
- GoofsNear the end, Sellars gets into taxi KGN 624 and, seconds later, gets out of taxi KGN 686.
Featured review
The gorgeous Elizabeth Sellars stars in this gripping drama, though IMO wrongly cast she plays the part well in her usual faultless style.
Her father is killed in a heist gone wrong and the criminal is seen by Jean (Elizabeth) but cleverly sets up an alibi which is unable to be faulted by the police. Jean then sets about trying to trap the killer (Edward Underdown) by whoring herself to him, much to the chagrin of Underdown's brother who has innocently supplied the alibi and thinks that Jean is the cat's pajamas.
Cleverly working her way into the confidence of the killer and his cohorts, Jean keeps the police updated on the coming plans of the gang while the brother starts to realise he's been dudded into giving false information.
A wonderful 'B' movie that moves along at a great pace with good acting and direction. The only downside seems to be the casting of some of the players - Edward Underdown and Keiron Moore as brothers? - tends to make one think of 'Twins' with Danny de Vito.
Don't miss it if you get the opportunity. --- 8/ 10.
