A vivid, violent little British crime film (although it would have been the - by today's standards - relatively decorous sexual content that earned it an 'X' certificate in 1960) rather reminiscent of Pre-Code Hollywood, with Terence Morgan as a vicious small time crook heading a terrific cast of familiar faces, including rival gangster Harry H. Corbett.
It could have done with less of Philip Green's insistent guitar & xylophone jazz score; but it enhances the general old-fashioned sleaziness of the piece. Which has a neat ending.
