## Description

Collection of classic British crime dramas. In 'The Third Alibi' (1961) a married composer begins an affair with his wife's half-sister, with deadly consequences. In 'Jackpot' (1960) a nightclub owner vows to take revenge on the man who robbed his safe, but the police are just as keen to catch him and bring him to justice. 'The Quiet Woman' (1951) follows Jane Foster (Jane Hylton) as she tries to start a new life and takes over a coastal pub. However, when her new boyfriend Duncan (Derek Bond) begins to use the pub for nefarious purposes, Jane's past indiscretions come back to haunt her once more. 'Impulse' (1954) follows an American realtor as he embarks upon an impulsive affair and becomes embroiled in plots of robbery and murder. In 'Crosstrap' (1962) a young couple seek temporary solitude in a rented country house but instead find it is being used by a gang of criminals. In 'Smart Alec' (1951) Alec Albion (Peter Reynolds) hatches a foolproof plan to kill his uncle and attempts to perfectly execute it. In 'Passenger to London' (1937) a British secret agent is shot on a train, sparking a race to recover the papers he was able to retrieve before his death. 'The Body Vanished' (1939) follows a detective as he investigates a murder while on holiday in a rural village. 'The Riverside Murder' (1935) follows a pair of young detectives as they investigate the murder of a rich man who was killed in his own home and seemingly without a motive. Finally, in 'Vengeance Is Mine' (1949), a dying man tries to frame one of his enemies for his death. The collection also includes interviews with the actress Patricia Dainton in which she discusses her career.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The Switchboard operator always rings twice. Something of a minor classic
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2017*

The Third Alibi is an absolutely cracking superior supporting feature from Montgomery Tully that it would be a crime to divulge the complicated plot. Suffice it to say that it's as noir as British cinema ever came, with a sting in the tail.Largely studio bound, the script's the thing, but it has lovely cars, chic fashions, G plan furniture, blond and brunette female leads and a song from Cleo Lane.I've yet to watch the other nine films in this collection and they are unlikely to surpass this delight but I simply couldn't wait to pass on the good news.I now see that the film is a re-issue and has already been quite understandably praised by others but even as a Johnny come lately I want to shout its wonderfullness from the rooftops.Like London Buses, you wait for ages and once one comes another one comes in quick succession.'Jackpot' is yet another bargain basement delight from Tully about a double-crossed robber who returns for his cut from 'The King of Soho'.  It's Booman's classic Point Blank, with a cut-price Hardy Kruger lookalike in the Lee Marvin role, made with pocket change.A greasy spoon run by an ex-safe cracker where the kids dance to the jukebox.  A character becomes an arty photographer by simply discarding his tie and unbuttoning his top button.  The top glamour model looks like somebodies mum.  A basement becomes a nightclub by simply fixing a small sign on the exterior. Done.It veers into The Blue Lamp territory but Dr Who, wearing an extraordinary plaid tweed overcoat, is on the case so we are in safe hands, or rather the safe cracker will hold up his hands.Poverty row, dashed off with panache.  If Tully had been French, he would have become an auteur with seasons at the NFT and articles in Sight and Sound.  It's not quite Melville in Soho but you get the picture.Sadly poor, but watchable print.  I await the restored Criterion release in my dreams.

if you are interested in British crime films of the early post war era, this group is not bad. In fact, some are well made for their time.
