    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.

    Title (Brazil): "Pago para Matar" ("Paid to Kill")

    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.

    derivative noir from England

    Dane Clark was one of the actors who went to England and made these films for Hammer, Kit Parker Films, etc.

    Here he stars in "Paid to Kill," a 1954 film also starring Anthony Forwood, Paul Carpenter, and Cecile Chevreau.

    Clark plays a businessman out of options when an important deal falls through. Desiring security for his wife, whom he adores, he arranges for someone to kill him.

    We've seen this before, though it does contain a twist. However, it's pretty routine.

    Clark was a John Garfield wannabe who had a prolific, if not spectacular career in films and television for nearly five decades.

    Anthony Forwood, a tall, handsome Brit, was married to Glynis Johns before he became the manager and long-time companion of Dirk Bogarde. He actually made a few films in the '50s before working behind the scenes.

    I like these black and white British mystery/suspense films. Some are better than others, but they manage to be entertaining.

    Kill me or I give you away to the police.

    Dane Clark often played ambiguous characters (check the so called well -meaning brother-in -law in " without honor"). Here ,going bankrupt, he wants to die so his wife can collect the insurance money :but he makes no bones about blackmailing an old friend he formerly helped to escape from the gallows. His killer has to do away with him in a way it looks like an accident.

    But a new associate retrieves the situation :now the factory is thriving again and there's no more reason to sacrifice one's life. But the "paid to kill" man seems to have disappeared , and there's no way to get the message "the deal is off" through .Soon the industrialist is victim of a murder attempt .But the killer might be someone else who takes advantage of the situation ; when you are wealthy and married to a pretty wife,you have other enemies you do not suspect.

    Good film noir ,in a sticky atmosphere (the sauna!) , with enough unexpected twists to sustain the interest throughout.

    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.
