The Gentle Terror

Another one of those quota filling English first halves badly shot, directed and played in unconvincing B feature studio settings.

Because it departs from the crime formula, this one is actually above average with a jokey plot about an insurance clerk who becomes the terror of the underworld when he unconvincingly knocks down a couple of extras with his umbrella. Faint echoes of IRMA LA DOUCE.

The fetching Angela Douglas lacks star potential, looking working class and talking R.A.D.A.

Terence Alexander plays a sort of Walter Mitty character. From a meek clerk he morphs into a terror of the underworld. This is a poverty stricken effort from the Danzigers. The writing,directing and acting are really quite poor.
