The Bank Raiders

Peter Reynolds was always a welcome presence in these typical small studio B pics; sharp, urbane and witty and far too nice to be a dyed-in-the-wool bad guy. Sandra Dorne plays the femme fatale on a revenge mission as the ex-girlfriend of the main baddie (Sydney Tafler, always great value)

Yes, folks, that really is Arthur Mullard ("Yus my dear"), as the heavy, not over-burdened with brains, who ends up on the wrong end of a tussle with our anti-hero.

The chap playing the bank teller Jack (Tim Ellison) looked familiar, but his acting career seems to have completely evaporated soon after this. Well that's feedback for you. Rose Hill (later of Allo Allo fame) has fun with her role as the grasping landlady.

All in all a very watchable 61 mins filmed around St John's Wood and harks back to the days when producing a £5 note settled weeks of back-dated bar bills!
