PANIC IN THE CITY is a B-flick thriller that looks and feels very dated, so I was surprised to see that it was made in the late 1960s rather than the 1950s. The plot is pure Cold War and sees a square-jawed hero tracking down a Russian spy who plans to unleash a nuclear bomb on the city. What follows is rather cheap and creaky, seemingly made on an indie budget which means there's a lot of small talk and rough edges rather than genuine thrills. A couple of familiar faces show up here and there but the genuinely interesting moments are few and far between, although there's no faulting the plot.
