This little film has been lurking on my shelves for several years now, but hasn't got played, simply because the quality of the DVD is atrocious. If I say it is on the 'Alpha' label, I am sure there will be those who will fully understand what I am getting at. The picture quality is streaked with lines and spots and makes for uncomfortable viewing. I feel therefore, that I will not be alone in being pleased that this film has now been accorded a respectful release on DVD by 'Pegasus Entertainment' The quality is vastly superior to the 'Alpha' and gives us a golden opportunity to at last, obtain a decent print of this film. As to the film itself, much of it's merits have been already touched upon by previous reviewers. Suffice to say that whilst this is not an earth shattering film it is nevertheless a neat little black and white thriller with some nice touches thrown in, plus good performances from Laurence Payne and Adrienne Corri.
