AKA..."3 Steps to the Gallows"
Scott Brady Travels to England to Beef Up Film-Noir.
Brady (brother of Lawrence Tierney) Goes Ashore to Meet His Brother and Finds He has been Convicted of Murder and will Hang in 4 Days.
What Transpires is Brady vs a British Mob of Smugglers and Tough-Guys.
The Goons can Barely Fill a Trench-Coat and are Constantly Attacking Him in Gangs.
One Fight or Chase Ends and Almost Immediately Another Takes Place.
The Movie, very Unusual for B-Movies, is Shot Predominately On-Locations.
A Difficult Task at Best.
The Story Involves a Night-Club Singer, a Rita Hayworth Look-Alike (Mary Castle) along with the Brothers Former Friends and Acquaintances.
A Wise-Cracking Boxer (John Blythe) and the Brother's Lawyer (Colin Tapley), Secretary (Gabrielle Brune), and Night-Club Owner (Lloyd Lamble).
It's a Complicated Plot.
One has No Time to be Concerned with such Twists and Turns because the Film Won't let You Catch Your Breath.
It's One of the Most Active British Noirs.
With a Hyper-Pace Anchored by Brady's Physical Presence and Persistence.
Also, the Beautiful Mary Castle Eventually Decides to Help and is an Attractive Companion.
Breathless Action and a Bewildering Plot.
Combine for an Entertaining 80 Minute Noir that Incorporates Many Night-Scenes and Shadows.
For an Ominous and Threatening Tone.
One of the Better Late Noirs from Britain and is Definitely...
Worth a Watch.
