Derek Winnert:
The perfect crime goes astray- like it always does in the movies – in director Cliff Owen’s 1961 realist British noir thriller starring Stanley Baker as Turpin, a dismissed army captain who plots revenge on the army by planning a heist of their payroll cash.

A young Tom Bell and Helmut Schmid co-star as Fenner and Swavek, Baker’s recruits to his scam. Rodney Bewes (27 November 1937 – 21 November 2017) plays Private Maynard in his feature-film debut and it is also the feature-film debut of Glynn Edwards (as breakdown truck crewman).

This pacy, well-made crime-caper thriller may offer few surprises but it is very entertaining and satisfying, and there is a particularly good cast of the day to watch out for.

Also in the cast are John Phillips, Tom Adams, Anthony Bate, Richard Bidlake, Mark Burns, Frank Coda, Michael Collins, Barry Keegan, Stephen Lewis, Fulton Mackay, Patrick Magee, Jack May, Roddy McMillan and Michael Ripper.

Paul Ryder’s screenplay is based on the story by Nicolas Roeg and Kevin Kavanagh.

It is shot in black and white by Gilbert Taylor and Gerald Gibbs, produced by George Maynard and scored by Bob Sharples.

Quote:
Nifty 70 min long caper film with a twist. William Sylvester is a MI-5 agent who gets transfered to Scotland Yard to help them with a problem. One of their detectives has been killed in a hit and run. Scotland Yard believes the detective was done in by the gang he was trying to infiltrate. The Yard hopes someone from outside the force might have a better chance. Sylvester goes deep undercover as a gunman for hire. He evens pulls a bank heist in order to impress the local underworld. His no nonsense style soon has him in demand with all the proper people. He gains entry to the gang and finds he quite enjoys the lifestyle. Money, booze and babes, what more does a guy need. He helps plan a million dollar jewel heist intending to take his cut and blow to South America. They pull the job and head to the hideout to split up the loot. The police however show up on an unrelated matter and his plan falls to pieces. Quick on his feet, he switches teams again and helps round up the mob. He is a hero! He would rather of had the money. Nice work by the lead as we watch him be slowly taken by the “dark side”. He has returned to being a cop but the look in his eyes says it will not be for long. Sylvester was an American actor who worked quite a few years in the UK during the 50-60’s. The always stunning Mai Zetterling plays the mob girl he wants to run off with. John Meillon, who played Paul Hogan’s partner in the first two Croc Dundee films plays one of the thugs. Neat and fast direction from Cliff Owen keep this one zinging along. Owen did the great Stanley Baker crime film “A Prize of Arms” the following year. Good film imo.

The post Cliff Owen – Offbeat AKA The Devil Inside (1961) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Porn store owner Pete orders some new stuff from his supplier Niko but Niko mixes up the address with the address of the local Barclays Bank. Here, newly-weds David (the bank’s assistant manager) and Penny Hunter is shocked when first photos, then films and then finally two girls are sent to them in the Bank’s flat. They, and their friend, head cashier Brian Runnicles (who slowly starts to have a nervous breakdown), have to deal with getting rid of the porn without letting their boss, Mr. Bromley – the bank’s manager (who’s very anti-porn), the local police in the form of Inspector Paul, and David’s mother, Bertha Hunter, in on what is happening…
