Amoral aristocrat Mile Ravencourt (Laurence Harvey, A Room at the Top) plots a daring robbery to settle his gambling debts in this taut, tough thriller played out on the shadowy streets of Post-War London.
Enlisting the aid of three men down on their luck - washed up ex-boxer (Stanley Baker, Zulu), ex-GI Joe (Richard Basehart, Moby Dick) and American airman Eddie (John Ireland, Red River) - Ravencourt's perfectly-planned heist looks sure to pay off. But is there any such thing as a sure thing?
Boasting powerful performances from a stellar cast that also includes Gloria Grahame (The Bad and the Beautiful), Joan Collins (Cosh Boy) and Robert Morley (The Battle of the Sexes), this compelling crime picture is presented here both in its original theatrical version and in an extended export cut, originally intended for international audiences. This special edition from BFI also comes with special features.
