Audience Member A classic British mystery thriller with the usual list of suspects: conmen, Scotland Yard, a drunken inspector, and a ring of criminals run by a wealthy fencer. Nothing more than extraordinary when compared to similar mystery films of the time, but still a classic film noir among the very best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
