Plot
John Cummings, an unsuccessful London cosmetics salesman, has his unpaid-for car stolen by a hood in the employ of Lionel Meadows, sadistic organiser of a car conversion racket.
Sinekatalog’s take
A salesman takes on a vicious car-theft ring after losing his prized vehicle. The British thriller is lean, grimy and surprisingly tense, with a nasty central villain. A solid, unfussy crime picture.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
