Rendez-vous avec le crime

For Dr. Who fans, this film would be an interesting thing to see. While William Hartnell (the first Doctor) made quite a few movies, he didn't star in all that many...and here he is the star.

The film begins with Leo (Hartnell) doing a smash and grab job at a jewelry store. It goes horribly wrong and Leo's fellow gang members run away and leave him to the authorities. It's pretty doubtful they could have done much to help...but Leo is the type to hold a grudge. When he eventually gets out of prison, he seems to have one thing on his mind....revenge against his old mates. Soon they start dying off...and you wonder if Leo will take them all out during the course of this movie. However, some of the gang members are real tough and clever sorts...perhaps they can stop him before it's too late.

If you like film noir, then you'll probably enjoy this. Hartnell plays a real nasty little rat...sort of like a Jimmy Cagney type but much more vicious. It also has a really dandy ending! Well worth seeing...for Who fans and non-Whovians.
