12.6.11
the shakedown (1960)
"He's the big man now."
Crime boss Augie Cortona (Terence Morgan) arrives home from a prison stretch to find his business has been taken over by Goller (Harry H. Corbett). He needs a new scam, and hits on one when he meets Jessel Brown (Donald Pleasance); a model school and photography studio, with blackmail on the side. But unknown to Augie one of the models (Hazel Court) isn't as innocent as she seems.
A neat little b-movie crime drama, with no-nonesense direction and solid acting.
