Review of Dangerous Cargo

Based upon a story by the famous crime journalist Percy Hoskins it concerns a security worker at an airport being forced by a gang of villains to supply them with information enabling them to make a gold robbery from the airport's vault. Playing the worker Tim is Jack Watling, ably suggesting an innocent helplessly caught in a tightening trap. Good support is given by sweet Susan Stephen as his wife Janie, Terence Alexander as the dodgy friend Harry and Richard Pearson as the loyal friend Noel. The great John Le Mesurier is also in it as a gang member but puzzlingly is saddled with playing an Italian. His accent wavers around implausibly. It could have been a more exciting film but it does hold one's attention throughout.
