Featured review

Tightly plotted,suspenseful heist thriller

Tightly plotted, suspenseful minor British crime thriller about an ex-con who leads a group of safecrackers to break into a bank vault through the cellar of an adjacent deserted building, only to find more than they had bargained for (namely an unexploded WWII bomb). Decent performances by Warren Mitchell and William Lucas, and a taut script by Edwin Richfield (a well known British character actor of the 60s) make this worth a watch.

Trivia
This film was shot during the notorious "Big Freeze of 1963" which began in December 1962, with snow falling or remaining on the ground until March 1963; temperatures were the coldest on record since 1683 and rivers and lakes froze over. Travel by road or rail was made very difficult and many rural places were cut off at times. Deep snow is seen in all the exterior shots of the film and it features in the storyline.
