Back in the days when £300 was a colossal sum, Doris Dors showed what all the fuss was about as a high maintenance floozie with the appropriately abrasive nickname 'Calico' and described by George Baker as a "dirty little wharf rat".
Seven years after cameraman Doug Slocombe went up North to shoot 'The Man in the White Suit' he came to Sheffield - masquerading as the grim Northern town of Roughborough - to make this thriller complete with footage of steel foundries and model work full of chimneys belching smoke.
There doesn't seem a genuine Northern accent in the entire film, but Betty Warren is fun as a hard Northern broad with a knockout punch; while an obviously drunk and strangely uncredited Wilfrid Lawson makes a couple of fleeting but highly unsettling appearances.
