blind spot (1958)

"...he asked a lot of questions about Johnny Brent!"
Being temporarily blind is very inconvenient for American Army officer Capt. Adams (Robert MacKenzie). Especially as he's itching to get off the ward and back into the real world. But when he's dropped off at the wrong address he literally stumbles over a dead body, and a mystery he's determined to solve, as obviously no one believes a word of his story.
Following a similar plot to 1950's Blackout. It lacks the charisma of the two leads that film had, but does have a bit part from a young Michael Caine.

impact (1963)

"at least he's in good hands."
Journalist Jack Moir (Conrad Phillips) is framed by The Duke (George Pastell), the boss of an armed robbery gang, and on his release only has one thing on his mind.
Another film set mainly on the Butcher's nightclub set, featuring a by the numbers script, and acting to match.
