After a devastating betrayal at the hands of their mysterious employer, gold thieves Soapy Marx (Alastair Sim) and Ferdy Fane (Bernard Lee) are captured by the police. They rot in prison for a decade, and, upon their release, Marx and Fane struggle to track down the man who betrayed them and the massive cache of gold they stole for him. Their paths converge with that of policeman Goodman (Wilfrid Lawson) at the creaky mansion of Col. Redmayne (Arthur Wontner), where nothing is at it seems.

David Parkinson Radio Times Bird directs with knowing wit and cinematic imagination, most notably using a superimposed montage to show how the world has changed while Oscar and Sim were doing their time. Undeniably hackneyed, but great fun nonetheless. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
