Doublecross

A pleasant enough way to waste an hour or so, nice to see sleepy Fowey in the 50's, and the chance to see a very interesting cast - early performances from Kenneth Cope, Robert Shaw and as usual William Hartnell adds some class in the acting department. However the whole affair is doomed from the start by a series of comically appalling "RADA Cornish " accents (Oooh arrgh me 'andsome !) - particularly by Faye Compton as the mum, and Donald Houston himself, who was worthy of much better than this, and a soundtrack that sounds straight from "Ivor the Engine". Hmmm.
