Routine

i'm inserting reviews of those films I've seen that lack one, i have a fondness for old b&w British films, so am always on the look out for obscure examples such as this, I watched this in 2009, but can't recall it, here is the note I made at the time....''Routine little Merton Park thriller involving a Mr big of the criminal underworld hiring an ex RAF conman to fly some diamonds across the channel, OK.''

One of the poorest of the series

This film does not use the iconic music,instead it utilises a truly cacophonistic score.The story is very indifferent.Edward da Souza plays a cashiered RAF pilot who is now a gambler.He is coerced by Aslan into collecting diamonds from France and bringing them back to England.There are a number of twists,with each one being trumped.One of the big problems is Aslan who seems very hesitant with his lines and therefore exudes no menace.They really needed Herbert Lom or Allen Wheatley
