Featured review
Watchable, then forgettable
THE MARKED ONE represents a very typical early 60's Brit B pic - entertaining enough for its short duration but hardly memorable.
William Lucas plays Don Mason, a tough cookie but underneath it all basically a sound chap; recently released from the clink, he's pursued by some unsavoury ex-associates while trying to hold down a driving job and living in modest digs. When his daughter is threatened, his estranged wife (Zena Marshall) reappears- and that spells the end for whatever cosy arrangement he had with housemate Maisie (Laurie Lee).
Patrick Jordan plays the enigmatic "Insp Mayne" dropping in and out of the narrative, which potters along to an underwhelming conclusion.
Watch out for shots of The Pilot pub in Chiswick - still standing after all these years; fortunately the management will have changed out of all recognition from this film, where Arthur Lovegrove's turn as a creepy, lascivious owner is unsatisfyingly not given its full comeuppance. David Gregory appears briefly- another "forgotten" name from the early 60s B studios.
