Nice way to spend an hour watching this charming little children's film.

What a fine film this is, from the acting to the black and white noirish cinematography and musical score. Mills gives one of his finest performances as the troubled suspect, what a versatile actor he was, but it's also got a cast of great character actors, with Edward Chapman a standout as one of the suspects.The story concerns the murder of a young woman, Kay Walsh,and a recent hospital patient, Mills, who may or may not be mentally deranged, but for me it is the ensemble cast that makes this film so watchable, with even Sid James popping up on the bridge in the opening shots, a little gem indeed and make sure you catch it if you can, and if you are a fan of old British post war films, this a must see.

As a Mancunian nice to see a film using Manchester locations as opposed to the usual London ones. The story is a sweet tale of two unlikely lovers falling for each other. Excellent performances from a cast of reliable old hands, and a lot of youthful newcomers, who went on to bigger and better roles in big productions, all assembled with a fine signature tune by Tony Christie,a little gem indeed, and a feel good movie for persons of a certain age, highly recommended.
