Featured review
Standard Crime Thriller
To be honest it would have been pretty awful if it hadn't been for Ian Hendry and Ronald Frasier as the detective and sergeant. A formula we got used to during the 1990s, but it wasn't new. No Hiding Place had the same sort of format.
A young Jane Asher was completely OTT as the daughter and Jeremy Brett showed glimpses of better things to come.
The crime was all a bit implausible and I didn't really know who was doing what and why at the end.
What was the business with the oars? We were never shown the reason why they were important.
It is based on the 1961 novel The Nose on my Face by actor Laurence Payne.
'Britmovie' called the film a "cleverly plotted thriller directed by ex-Ealing editor/producer Michael Truman... Hendry's committed performance and Fraser's underplayed support dominate the film as the two policemen on the case.
