Quotes
Mawsley: [waiting for the prison bus to set off] Look here Roberts, I won't tell you again, stop talking.
Doug Roberts: Sorry sir, I was only asking him the time.
Mawsley: The time ? what do you want to know that for ? Where you're going you'll need a calendar, not a clock.

B Movie Thriller with Familiar Faces.

Recorded this from Talking Pictures channel. Interesting for the ensemble of familiar sixties actors. Harry Fowler (Army Game), Terence Longden (Garry Halliday), Jennifer Jayne (William Tell), Alan Wheatley (Robin Hood), Vanda Godsell (The Newcomers). It was an interesting enough story, but, Terence Longden and Harry Fowler apart, generally the acting was all a bit hammy. Interesting that an integral part of the plot was not actually shown on screen.
