Lenny Lane: I've given that game up, I don't do it anymore. I've given up climbing through windows and I never want to see the inside of stir again. I'm doing alright with this place and I don't have to cross the road every time I see a dick coming.
Featured review
Jackpot
George Mikell ("Stock") takes the fall for a London gangster and when he gets out of prison after over a year of hard labour, returns to Eddie Byrne ("Sam Hare") to get his share. Nothing doing, so he determines to team up with a former safe-cracking friend and help himself to the £6,000 in his safe at the "Jackpot Club". They are successful but as they escape, they kill a vigilant police constable. The police and the gangster are now both on the trail of the robbers. It's quite a decent crime thriller; a few twists and turns though also some pretty obvious plot holes. Michael Ripper is quite convincing as the cowardly safe cracker "Lenny"; William Hartnell is also good as ("Supt. Frawley") as is Betty McDowell as the estranged wife who has long since found a new beau. Nothing new, but it's an engaging low-budget Monty Tully effort.
