It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I think that this was filmed in Jersey.The island promoted as the Honeymoon Island.The plot is fairly standard blackmail plot with a few entertaining twists.There is one real moment of suspense.Are Merton Park about to splurge the cash by crashing a car over a cliff.Well no they are not.We merely hear the sound!The police inspector is played by Phillip Stone,one of Kubricks favourite character actors.

This Edgar Wallace mystery is aided by some surprisingly effective performances, particularly Dudley Foster's compelling study of the quiet-spoken, vengeful doctor and Brian Haines as a totally unsubtle inquiry agent. Also the film is often directed with an astonishing degree of visual flair. It's also smartly edited and the director makes fine use of his actual locations. In fact, the only really disappointing aspect of the movie is its pedestrian music score as composed and conducted by Bernard Ebbinghouse. (Although the film's credits actually read, "Title music by Michael Carr", this is incorrect. For once in the series, Carr's familiar Edgar Wallace signature tune is NOT played here!
