Great score by John Dankworth......as heard with the amazing voice of Cleo Laine in the opening/closing credits song. Thanks for the upload by the way of this fine gem of film 60's work.

Great to watch this film again after so many years.

Did you spot a young Kenny Lynch among the lags :-) ?

[Fingalful]

A film full of great talent: Murray Melvin, Rupert Davies, Sam Wannmaker, Jill Bennett, Patrick Wymark, Stanley Baker, the young Kenneth Cope and that fantastic voice of Cleo Laine and the music of Johnnie Dankworth! And even written by Alun Owen! A rare treat, indeed. It reminded me of the film of Brendan Behan's play, "The Quare Fellow." I've watched this film a couple of times already. I just love it.

There's a Cliff Richard poster on the wall at 00:15 In a prison? Hmm, perhaps. That's a strange haircut Stan Baker's got.  Is it a syrup?

[patrice6016]

gritty gangster flick with a wonderful jazzy score,Stanley Baker is excellent as the thieving boy. thanks

"Just try to complete a sentence without ya saying the word like" That struck me funny given how over used that word is today.

"So this movie was made in Canada?"

Nice one ITV. Excellent production; Laurence Naismith made a fine philosophic Det. Inspector. Irish characters of one stripe or another did seem to be to the forefront both on the side of right and in the underworld. Set in Manchester perhaps..

I thought this was a lost film. Wheew! Whoever you are, I love you.
