Not a bad british thriller that grabs you for more than one hour but that eventually fails in the end; at least for my taste. I expected something different, because it is a B picture, so the producers and screen writers could have tried something different, not so predictable, run of the mill finale as in any A picture, big budget film with big stars. Yes, I could have expected and especially obtained something else than this second part. I don't care it is talkative, because the suspense is here but that's all. I don't know this director; there were many many unknown film makers in UK during the late fifties and early sixties.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
