Enfield and Baker, who were later to form their own production company, team up here with a divinely hammy Patrick McGoohan, and a cast of virtual unknowns who would later rise to fame, for a great ripping yarn that doesn't fail to excite.
It's strong on action and character, and keeps you guessing to how they're gonna' sort it all out. And Enfield, who had interesting political statements to make through his movies, leaves it until very near the end to ram his point home with uncompromising directness.
They don't make British films like they used to, and that's for sure. A golden gem.
