Augie (Terence Morgan) is released from prison, returning home to find his turf has been taken over by Gollar (Harry H Corbett). With no one and no where to go he befriends a down at heel photographer (Donald Pleasence) and sets up in business with him in a studio and model school to train young women. But he cannot help himself and he soon develops an after hours sideline in 'artistic studies' for amateurs, blackmailing some of them.An under the radar gritty British film noir, that deserves to be better known. What you see is what you get, this is so lean it's almost anorexic, and all the better for it. A taut thriller featuring some of the best British character actors of the time and the fine features of Hazel Court.
