Featured review
This is a film that i remembered well from the time that i first saw it at my local cinema back in 1963.it has been shown on TV and now i am pleased to report it has been released on DVD.It was shot during the big freeze of 1963 which explains the fact that everything is covered in snow.The plot is very straightforward but with the extra twist of the bomb.Up until only a few years ago unexploded bombs were still being dug up in London,particularly in the EAST end.There were many delayed action bombs,designed to cause maximum inconvenience and blow up the bomb squad.Once reactivated there would only be a matter of minutes till they exploded.Of the cast only Warren Mitchell is familiar giving us a hilarious cameo.a really good B thriller.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis 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.
