Review of Freedom to Die

Francis Searle made a bunch of good features in the late fifties and early sixties. And this one makes no exception. I would say it's more a drama than a gangster movie. I won't spoil it, but the characters are rather interesting, deeply described, and not the lead. In resume, a fairly good British B noir, starring the always efficient Paul Maxwell - we saw in many films of this kind. A tragic story, and sometimes poignant. It is still a classic topic, no real surprise in it, and a predictable ending.

But it's worthwhile. And so rare.

I almost forgot: this movie was produced by Butcher's Films. British B productions of this era. With the Danziger's, of course...
