    Lame attempt at comedy yhriller

    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.

    Low rent British suppport

    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.
