5/10
Low budget thriller from a different era
24 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
An interesting film if only to see an example of very low budget British film of the late 1950's.

It had some good actors but they were let down somewhat overly simple plot and clunky script.

Still it's always a pleasure seeing a young Shirley Eaton and William Hartnell is always good value for money.

Viewing the UK as it was also holds attention with relatively empty streets with about 15 million less people around. Old fashioned cars and clothes except for one futuristic event. When the police car gives chase at the end a police constable says that he has no idea where the bad guy (chased by the good guy) went to.

However the police drive across London and over the Thames and somehow find the very street where the bad - and good guys - cars are parked. Perhaps they had computerised tracking drones in those days (or perhaps it was just lazy writing as they needed to tie the film up quickly before the £200 budget ran out)
