I thought "Escape!" was bad enough, but this takes first prize for clipped upper class accents and one can only wonder at what the steaming masses made of these people when they saw them at the flicks on a Saturday night out. Apart from that the acting was also very hammy and I cannot agree with Film_Nitrate:- "though the young couple played by Frank Lawton and Dorothy Boyd are far more convincing than the rest of the cast" as they seemed to me to be the worst and the only people to come out of it all with some credibility were C. Aubrey Smith and Nigel Bruce.
Nevertheless, it was fascinating to watch as a curio of its time - all I have to do now is run through it again quickly to spot a 20 year old Jack Hawkins in his first film (!?) as he was not mentioned in the film credits – only on IMDb it seems, so well done them!...................................(Oh yes, there he is – and almost blink an you'll miss him!!)
