Roy Boutling was a great British movie maker.Nothing wasted, nothing overstated. Captured the era faithfully. Pity the uploader felt the need to have a huge advert hanging permanently on screen. BOO HISS.

Here I am an American sitting on the edge of the Pacific and I am once again very very grateful to the British nation for its creativity in making this marvelous film. I just happened upon it and am so fortunate that I did so. It to me captures the spirit of the British people - understated courage and fierce attention to detail May I say Rule Britannia!

Love these older movies....can't get enough of them. Better acting & plots, no vulgarity and time killing, never-ending car chases. Much better content that today's movies!

Absolutely gripping! I can't write any more about this film without parroting the praise from the other reviews. I, too, am glad I stumbled upon this movie! Thank you so much for posting!!

English moves are such a breath of fresh air.

I love British Films. Their actors don't have to be handsome or a size 4, all they have to do is be good actors and actresses.

Brilliant script of espionage filmed at Pinewood Studios. This is an English film of quality with some wonderful performers. Some well-known names in there as well. If only we could be treated to quality like this in this generation, but sadly we won't be. Entertaining indeed and highly recommended. Many thanks for posting. Much appreciated.

What a gem, fast paced, good acting, great dialogue and lovely period location shots. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

Even more appropriate movie today than in 1951. Thank you so much for posting.

A relevant movie. "Wherever people have known the light, they don't tolerate the darkness for very long."

British films remain the best, and always shall. You just cannot go wrong with a British film, atmosphere and quality of script and dialogue and acting.

Damn, we used to make good films. This is another gem I'd never heard of, many thanks for uploading.

I was born in 1944 in Birmingham, England. We all had great respect for our American allies. During the food rationing years it was wonderful that the American GIs seemed to carry and endless supply of gum! Any gum chum? Funny thing is that I couldn't eat it now. My jaws couldn't cope!

A great film,thoroughly enjoyed it. An excellent story line and a tightly woven plot. And not a bad actor among them. Although I'm an addict of old films I must confess that I hadn't seen or even heard of this little gem before. Ah...the days before electronic surveillance,when detectives had to get out there and do the leg work in order to put a case together. My late brother was a detective inspector back in the 60s/70s and was probably one of the last of that particular breed before computers came in to do the leg work for them. As opposed to fading into obscurity, a lot of the actors here went on to enjoy long and successful careers to a greater or lesser degree. Incidentally, Kenneth Griffith died about nine weeks ago, a fine actor. he was eighty four.

This was a great film. I love the atmosphere of the old black and white films and recognising actors/actresses from their younger days. It is weird to watch someone run to a phone box without thinking just for a few seconds 'why doesn't he use his mobile'.

Wonderful film , despite giant Aimersoft logo . The film was so good after a while I just didn't notice . Even stared Joan Hickson who played mum and who later played Miss Marple , my favourite actress in that role . Great acting .

Absolutely brilliant. Many, many thanks for posting such a gem!

This is a really great movie - from more than 70 years ago. Thank you for uploading it.

I came here to watch the Aimersoft logo and that damn film got in the way.

Excellent movie i love this era of black and white films thankyou

Than you for this terrific film . Great actors AND Battersea Power Station. Much appreciate the trouble you took to put this film up so we can enjoy these great British classics.

Absorbing, with great shots of London; I love the black & white; also nice to see Joan Hickson when she was young and not playing Miss Marple...

Wow Joan Hicksen ,Dora Bryan,Jean Anderson,Dandy Nicols all huge tv stars later on

rarely seen British classic thank you for hosting

I wasn't expecting much. Wow was I surprised. This is an excellent film from the writing, directing, location, design and acting.

Quite forgot about the logo due to the fact that this was a most enjoyable film, thank you for posting.

Once again, the best. There is nothing to compare with an British Movie. Thank you Hannah Clulow, for sharing; too, your marvelous Mum for sharing with her students. The logo, initially distracting, the acting, plot etc., was so captivating, that the logo for myself, disappeared into oblivion. A gem indeed!!!

Very Well-Done!!! I suspect that if We we’re All aware of how closeTyranny & Destruction are to Us at all-times, We would be paralyzed with fear. I Thank & Praise-God for actively protecting and defending Us at all-times!!!

Great film well done . Love the old films. Yet again another winner . Thank you.🇬🇧❤️

These English films are so unique of their time. Please remember the quality of acting everyday lives in these films and making them interesting is quite a “feat” of extraordinary actors, never shall this be repeatedly again in our lifetimes. I thank the men and women and children for choosing this career to give me entertainment. God bless them !

This is a truly marvellous movie that zips along like a firecracker, one of a series of neo-realist British police dramas in the early 1950s, using real London locations which today give a terrific insight into how the West End looked c.1951. The cast contains some of the great British characters performers of the period - Andre Morell (later star of Hammer Horrors) and Anthony Bushell as policemen, nervy Kenneth Griffith and sly Charles Lloyd Pack as Commie spys, Joan Hickson (later "Miss Marple") as a mum, Dora Bryan (who died only this month) as a silly woman obsessed with her kettle. The good guys are MI5, the baddies a never-directly mentioned band of Communist sabouteurs. Rousing music score, nice sets, the production written by the Boulting Brothers, one of their earliest efforts..

I'm so embarrassed of our current state of affairs within Hollywood. We have lost so much talent that it created a vacuum. Technology will never replace art. Our universities are to blame and it will take a long time to replace.

I was so enthralled by the film that after awhile I did not notice the logo. My father worked on the building of Battersea power station. Nice one!

It's a very tight and well moving movie. The characters are rich and well defined. It's fascinating to see London and how it look and acted soon after World War Two. Thank you for downloading the film. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely brilliant film, great acting and storyline. Wish they still made films like this nowadays. 👍

I look at these 'old' films and remember how London used to look and how people used to talk and behave and I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia for a people and standards that I grew up with but that are no longer present . I know there were aspects that weren't perfect, but on the whole it seemed a better time. I miss it terribly.

Wonderful Art Deco interrior of Battersea Power Station before it was left to rot for twenty years.

That was excellent! I was on the edge of my seat, even though I knew it would be all right. Some great actors and some great acting.

It's a good film. A lot of tension, excitement and good dialogue. Also good sound and picture quality. Thanks for posting. (pity about the constant logo, but I forgot about it after a while).

High Treason Excellent superb on time, for those who've seen the light they won't tolerate the dark. Pray for democracy.

Iv'e watched this movie many times over the years, and I can't but think how it correlates to what's happening tin today's world in 2022. Man's quest for power, no matter how many lives are lost, just to stay seated in "government." No, it's not a new idea, but it sure "hits close to home."

Started watching this, looked good, but when I realized the DVD Ripper logo wasn't going to disappear, I quit. Really bad idea to upload a movie like this.

I love these old 50s movies, thanks for putting them on KZfaq.

Very enjoyable film. The theme and pace of the script made it for me. Thank you for uploading

What a nice surprise to find this on youtube. Thank you for sharing.

Lots of subsequently famous actors in this excellent film. I enjoyed it, immensely 😊

Thoroughly wonderful British film. Thank you for posting. Love the British post WW2 films. Wonderful acting, script and direction.

Isn't it amazing what wonderful cars have been built in Britain, I could watch them all night. Furthermore I like these movies because of the civilized English that is spoken.

I'm writing my undergrad dissertation on the representation of Communism and the Soviet Union in British Cold War Cinema and this is one of the films I desperately needed to see. Thank you so, so, so much you've made my day! :D

Great film loads of wonderful British actors some went on to be stars of 60s and 70s tv shows 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you 😊

Did anyone recognize Joan Hickson (Miss Jane Marple) as Mrs.Ellis. Don't come any better!!!!

Over a half million views. Thanks for the upload. I really enjoy the street scenes from these old films.

Really good movie! It truly makes one wonder how many MPs there are at this time with the same agenda! A scary thought but quite plausible. Thank you 🌹

Far superior actors! Love watching them too!😎

I LOVE THESE OLD BRITISH FLICKS . THANKS 4 POSTING !!!

Great movie! Thanks so much for uploading it. I didn't think the logo was too bad. I was able to ignore it without a problem. In other videos, they try to get around copyright issues by speeding up or slowing down the tape, or by cutting off part of the picture. This was far better than those practices.

Great film! I love how everything is so unemotional and matter of fact, even during the gun fight. Very British, what?

excellent FILM REALLY ENJOYED IT SO MANY RECOGNISABLE FACES

What a great film. Tight. I watched the whole film without any interruption. Thank you.

British actors & actresses are the very best in the World Today - because the British Stage Training is the best in the World.

Wonderfully exciting and fast paced film with a great cast of players.

rather see the logos and enjoy the great movie, than not get to see this most enjoyed movie! Hannah, thank you for time and effort for my being able to enjoy this movie. So sorry you have to hear from folks are jerks! tell I said it, from los angeles , california

good plot . fine movie liked seeing old London again.

The police - asking the shopkeeper if he had seen the deceased - = Yes.."He'd come in yesterday to pay his radio instalment"" ..Those words really hit me like a sledge hammer!! I remember, as a young girl living in the Eastern Suburbs in the 1950's, my mother, or father, had a small booklet with pages that they would fill out and take to the local Post Office..with money to pay for the ""radio instalment"!!! I always thought it horrible that we would have to pay for the pleasure of listening to the (rather antiquated) radio perched in a special spot in the kitchen!!! An amazing memory along with the horse drawn cart that the Milko had, and the Ice Man..filling up the Ice Chest..(he used to chip off a bit of ice for my sister and myself!!), Wow...The young people of today would never believe this!!! I think it is wonderful!!!

Wow!!! Joan Hickson aka Miss Marple is in this gem.

Excellent film , worth the watch .

What a beauty lots of suspense interesting and gripping plot and well drawn characters. Thanks for uploading Hannah!

I searched for an alternative and found this movie on MK Powelson’s channel :-). No aggravating logo on screen

Scoring with modern music and humorous tunes, fascinating.

Love these old English films , Joan Hickson , miss Marple 40 years later , just great

Thank you. I imagine the composer enjoyed writing the various pieces given at the musical society's concerts.

Can you make the logo bigger, it's awesome, surely it would fit right across the screen.

Great old classic movie!

Excellent! Thanks!

*FABULOUS* movie. Excellent acting. So nuanced. Great plot pacing and location shots. The logo was distracting at first but the actors and the story line pull you in to the picture and you're just gone. Thank you for uploading.

Great film, thank you.

Well done. Why the Rank-era flms are my favorites.

Keep coming back to this film, thanks.

thoroughly enjoyed this well made classic. thank you for the upload. an ole south london boy here :)

It’s interesting to see that hundreds of people who think a point that has already been made in countless comments needs to be posted by them yet again.

Bit of trivia. Laurence Naismith, Anthony Bushell and Kenneth Griffith reunited to act in 1957 "A Night To Remember". Morse code played a key role in both films, and Griffith once again was a telegrapher!

I do say old chap, this is really a great film. My favorite espionage movies are the Jean LeCarre films, this one stands alongside those.

Pretty good movie, still relevant today

Joan Hickson...for me the definitive Miss Jane Marple

Very enjoyable period film. Thank you for posting. I'd suggest to those who got their skivvies in a knot over the dreaded logo, go watch the movie elsewhere.

have decided to watch this with a piece of tape over that advert.

I didn't notice the logo. Wasn't an issue. Thanx for posting

What an amazing cast list, many thanks.

Thank you for putting this on.

I love this movie

Great little enemble film. Thanks

Fantastic. A great 'lost' classic.

Roy Boulting's sequel to the more famous Boulting Bros. Seven Days to Noon. Wonderful cast. Good quality recording, sound as clear as a bell. Advertising logo is a little annoying but still well worth watching.

High Treason and high drama! From a time when British films were really good. Thank heavens it hasn't been "colourised! Thanks for sharing!

I didn't even notice the logo! 😊 I stumbled upon the film today, and have watched it with a sense of how some of the tactics in it remind me of what has been happening in the USA at this time, and with their election count still ongoing today. Thanks for the film. I love old movies, especially old British films. ☺️

The logo was a drag but it was a well made film. Even the morse message he sent was real.

Enjoyed it very much. Saw the logo only in the first minutes of the movie, once I started enjoying it, the log became invisible.

What a fantastic movie. Just my kind. Thank you

I really enjoyed this!❤ Light over darkness in the end👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼☀️

Voted: excellent atmospheric film! Wonderful to see roads before the advent of mass car ownership. Also people looking around for a phone to use; and high ranking police officers who looked like they meant business. . . . . ! Great stuff.
