dangerous cargo (1954)


"Tell 'em when the planes are coming in and here's 500 quid!"
An airport cargo handler, Tom Matthews (Jack Watling), bumps into old wartime chum, Harry (Terence Alexander). Harry insists on treating Tom and his wife Janie (Susan Stephen) to a night out grayhound racing and have a great time. However Harry is part of a gang that intends to mount a raid on the airport and they need some inside information. So when Tom and Harry re-visits the dogs and Tom ends up owing the bookmakers, he comes under pressure to give up the info the gang needs.
Only mildly diverting B movie crime caper. More interesting for an uncomfortable John Le Mesurier playing a dodgy foreigner, with an even more dodgy accent.
