Another Priceless CFF Memento

This little gem departs from the usual formula of the hero gang being bullied and/or cheated by their rivals.

Here, it's a Race Against Time story with the kids getting possession of "sweets" that are mixed with stolen, poisonous pills.

As with so many of these early (well, at 1964 this is more or less at the end of the golden period) CFF films, the joy-for those around then, and scholars-is seeing post-War London locations with...bomb damage; unsupervised kids all outside; pre-school kids playing on the roadsides, on their own or sometimes under the "care" of their siblings; kids wearing old, conventional clothes, girls in dresses, no American jeans or baseball boots; caves or dens in empty buildings; traffic-free streets; stern but benevolent coppers; a palpable community spirit....

Highly enjoyable and another valuable social document of those times.

(UK's Talking Pictures TV channel has done it again!)
