A good plot and a great cast.

I suspect that this was a "B" movie of the day. We don't have "Second feature" movies any more, nowadays we are presented with one almighty production that revolves around a single famous actor and a host of special effects.This little offering is different, there is a host of really great actors and a lot of character development. Anthony Newley is great and fits his role so well. Palance seems to be not quite with it but I have noticed this in a few of his films, his Texan accent was a mistake.It was interesting to see the change in our leading lady after she had been beaten up. Even her ample top didn't seem to be bursting at the seams!Well worth a watch - if you can get it.

Decent British crime flick

Palance hangs out in Europe...looking for a jewel thief.

Sam Carter (Nigel Patrick) is a seemingly normal guy. He's predictable, people like him and he's the last person you'd think was a criminal. But Sam has been playing the long game and after years of 'normalcy', this bookkeeper for a jeweler not only steals a huge diamond, but he kills one of his coworkers to get away with the gem. Then, through the course of the story, he tries to blow up an American investigator (Jack Palance) and kills again! Clearly this 'nice guy' ain't so nice after all!The story is told from the viewpoint of the investigator, Milo March (Palance) and takes him from Britain where the crime occurred to the European mainland. But Carter always seems to be just ahead of him or makes an escape...thanks to him being such a vicious man. Along for the ride is a beautiful woman (Anita Ekberg).The fact that Carter seems to escape much too easily...mostly because March has no backup (which makes little sense considering how dangerous Carter is)...is a deficit of the story. Still, despite this, it's tense and worth seeing. It's also a bit surprising to see Palance playing the hero...something he really wasn't too familiar with at this point in his career.By the way, you might wonder why an American actor stars in this British film. In the 1950s and 60s, it was not uncommon for European film companies to hired famous American actors (usually second-tier ones, as Palance was at the time) to star in the films. It was assumed the name recognition would help with sales...especially in the American market. It was most common in Italian movies but it was also true in many German and British films.
