Strongroom (1962)
7/10
Good Brit B heist flick with Colin Gordon in great form
25 August 2023
Vernon Sewell, a frequent director of British B flicks, often heist-related, pulls off a good movie here with competent cinematography, and acting of quite above average quality, in particular from Colin Gordon - who, in my humble view, never quite matched this form again in his career. The greater the pity, he deserved better.

The screenplay by Richard Harris (apparently not the actor) and Max Marquis rates quite solid thanks to sharp dialogue that projects a thought-provoking cautionary tale - once you commit a crime, can your good intentions save you from severe punishment? What about your conscience - which at least Colin Gordon seems to have?...

7/10.
