    Good Plot Point

    In London, the businessman James Nevill (Dane Clark) is the president of Amalgamated Industries and adores his wife Andrea (Thea Gregory). When he is betrayed by his uncle Cyrus McGowan (Howard Marion-Crawford) in a risky business that will bankrupt the company, he decides to force his former friend Paul Kirby (Paul Carpenter) to kill him so that Andrea receives a life insurance policy to have a good life. However Kirby refuses and devastated with the proposal, he drinks too much disclosing the request in public in his girlfriend´s bar. Out of the blue, James´ uncle changes his position and the business succeeds. James tries to find Kirby to call off their arrangement but does not locate him. After three attempts of murder, James suspects that Kirby is not who is trying to kill him.

    "Five Days", a.k.a. "Paid to Kill", is a film-noir by Hammer with a good plot point that may surprise the viewer. The cinematography is also great but the conclusion is disappointing. My vote is six.

    Five Days to Die

    After his London-based "Amalgamated Industries" suffers a devastating loss, American businessman Dane Clark (as James "Jim" Nevill) decides to end it all. This is going to be a strange suicide, however. In order for his wife to benefit from a life insurance policy, Mr. Clark asks an old friend to commit the murder. At first, sleazy hit-man Paul Carpenter (as Paul Kirby) refuses. But Clark makes Mr. Carpenter mad during a fight, and threatens blackmail, too. Finally, Carpenter agrees to kill Clark, within five days. Once the deal is set, Clark's failed business deal reverses. Now, he must stop himself from being murdered...

    Writer Paul Tabori adds a couple of surprises to this formulaic story. You can make accurate predictions, but you'll need to revise them. Director Montgomery Tully does well in dark alleys and seedy diners. Second-billed secretary Cecile Chevreau (as Joan Peterson) sends out the right signals, indicating she's interested in her boss. Clark is faithful to pretty wife Thea Gregory (as Andrea), however. Not seen as often as partner (spouse equivalent) Dirk Bogarde, tall blond Anthony Forwood (as Peter Glanville) is impressive. British players shine in small, uncredited roles.

    Better Than Usual Lippert

    Looks like budget-minded Lippert productions got more bang for their buck in England than in the US. This is a well-produced crime drama, with a tight script and some good touches. Nevill's (Clark) a not very likable business bigshot, (note that he treats his board of directors with uncalled for abruptness). Trouble is his latest big deal is failing, so, in desperation, he arranges his own death. That way his wife Andrea can collect insurance and be taken care of. His plan is to hire associate Paul to do the job. But surprise, the business deal suddenly goes through and Nevill's vindicated. Now he's got to stop Paul from carrying out his part. Nonetheless, it appears that Paul's gone away. Yet, surprise, somebody really is trying to kill Nevill. But if it's not Paul, who is it and why.

    Clark delivers an exemplary performance. Notice his subtle facial expressions to fit the mood. There're some good touches, like the suspenseful father in the park or the colorfully blustery Hyson, neither of which affects the plot but does add atmosphere. And catch that very last shot, suggesting that Nevill's obsession is not yet spent, despite the attempts to kill him, while poor Joan comes trailing after. It also suggests a sneaky subtext that might otherwise go unnoticed amid the murder plots. To me, the movie's much better than expected for a Lippert production. The movie's got mystery, suspense, and atmosphere, plus Clark's motivated turn. So catch it if you can.

    Terrific plot for its time

    For the fifties decade, this plot was very surprising, inventive, exciting. Now, in 2023, we can say that this scheme has been used many times in many suspense thriller plots. Unfortunately, the ending is always more or less predictable. Nevertheless, this littme UK thriller remains outstanding, not very long, pullled by a stong acting and cast. As in many features of this period, some US actors were hired for British productions. I recommend this one for any thriller buff, no matter the B production standard. Keep in mind that a B movie is not necessarily a lousy one, on the contrary: a lesser budget permits many daring and offbeat stories. This one is the best example.

    Five Days is About Right

    So Five Days is a somewhat formulaic murder mystery that still manages to be kind of entertaining. Clark is a likeable enough actor but I feel that he was a bit weak in this performance, and Chevreau was equally underwhelming. Carpenter and Gregory on the other hand were solid and helped to elevate the proceedings. The remainder of the cast and performances were serviceable. There is a bit of a plot twist toward the end of the film but rather mild and not really all that surprising. The twist wasn't really surprising at all because despite an apparently deep almost obsessive love for his wife, he treated her very poorly and showed her little respect. Not a great film by any means but still kind of fun to check out if you have 70 minutes and are curious.

      When Kirby leaves the party at Nevill's and goes to a bar, the two men sitting behind him (one played by an uncredited Warren Mitchell) are, from their dialogue, clearly gay. Pretty daring for 1954.
