Suspected Person (1942)

Following a $50k heist in New York a couple of the suspected robbers escape to England in search of the money they believe is with their former accomplice Jim Raynor (Clifford Evans). Unfortunately for Raynor, Scotland Yard (including William 'Billy' Hartnell) are also on his and the cash's trail.

A solid if unspectacular British B-picture, similar in style to the Film Noir coming out of America at the time. Long coats and wide brimmed trilby's the required fashion, night clubs with chanteuse the preferred entertainment and lots of shooting from the hip both verbally and ballistically.

After a slowish start the film kicks into gear in it's second half with a lot of double crossing, to'ing and fro'ing on late night trains and a suspenseful, bullet strewn climax

The Network dvd looks and sounds splendid.
