Hell Is A City
Very much enjoyed the 1960 Brit noir HELL IS A CITY starring Stanley Baker, John Crawford, Donald Pleasence, Maxine Augley, Billie Whitelaw and Vanda Godsell.
Based on an award-winning screenplay, this is a top drawer film about an escaped convict (Crawford) and the police inspector (Baker) who relentlessly goes after him. Suspecting that Crawford will try to recover jewels from a previous heist he centers his investigation in Manchester. The unexpected and brutal murder of a woman and the missing money she was carrying increases Baker's suspicions of just where he might find Crawford.
Baker is very dedicated to his job and unfortunately less so to his wife.
The film keeps you engaged--complete with roof top chases.
Keaney gives it a 3.5 and it's 6.7 on IMDb.
This one is worth a watch.
