AKA The Gold Inside.
"Its rather a good plan, don't you think?"
Fordyce (Peter Cushing) is a pedandic, bullying, and charmless bank manager, who comes up against a ruthless but superficially charming crook Hepburn (André Morell). Hepburn annouces that he has had Fordyce's wife and child abducted to ensure his total co-operation. But a flaw arises when the bank staff realise that something is not right and Fordyce has to beg them to keep quiet for his family's sake.
A claustrophobic little thriller well played by all concerned. For no apparent reason this was shown in 1961 in America, but the UK had to wait another two years to see this gem.
