John Crawford: I want you out of the club in five minutes!

Featured review
Alan Baxter is a writer in London to punch up a play for producer Charles Clay. He settles in a hotel in the suburbs, where he discovers Barbara Shelley. She was a girlfriend who walked out on him with his last hundred dollars. Now she's married to Arthur Gomez, who owns the hotel, a club in London, and runs a fencing operation. Baxter and Miss Shelley work up a scheme to rob Gomez' safe in the club with an ironclad alibi. But their plan goes awry.
Baxter is an immobile drip in the movie, who offers a voice-over commentary throughout the movie in a nasal, creaking voice. Miss Shelley is alluring, and the whole thing is shot cheaply by director Charles Saunders, resulting in a watchable, if mediocre film.
