spin a dark web (1956)


aka Soho Incident.
"I got sick of working for a living anyway, so here I am."
Jim Bankley (Lee Patterson), a struggling boxer/telephone engineer, finds an old army friend and begs him for a job. He's introduced to the boss, and more importantly the bosses sister Bella Francesi (Faith Domergue). He's taken with her and unwittingly gets drawn into a murder investigation.
Welcome to the murky nightlife of Soho, boxing, and racing. Typical noir styling permiates this surprisingly entertaining quota quickie, which includes some great views of 50's Soho.
