Breakaway

Another nostalgic visit to a fifties London filled with big cars and empty streets. This potboiler about the usual attempts by nasty foreigners to get their clammy mitts on a formula crucial to winning the Cold War as usual has excellent photography by co.producer Monty Berman competing with an obtrusive score by Stanley Black.

About as humble as anything in which Honor Blackman and Arthur Lowe found themselves treading water before eventually becoming household names in the sixties; Miss Blackman here actually suffers the indignity of being billed third after wide boy Michael Balfour sporting an incredible Teddy Boy wig and a taste for loud clothes.
