devil's bait (1959)

"What's he been up to?"
Mr Love (Dermot Kelly) dies in an accident, and policeman (Gordon Jackson) finds out he was carrying cyanide, but can find none with him. His landlady mentions that Baker Joe Frisby (Geoffrey Keen) had called him in about his rat problem and it soon becomes clear that Mr Love has used one of their loaf tins to mix his bait. But who bought the loaf subsequently baked in the poisoned tin, and can they reach them before they eat it?
A well made and tense thriller.

captain clegg (1962)


aka Night Creatures.
"I should say he died of fright."
A customs official arrives in a small coastal village to investigate smuggling activities in the area, but Captian Collier (Patrick Allen) is soon sidetracked by reports of "Marsh Phantoms" terrorising the area, and a comely serving wench (Yvonne Romain). Then his focus turns to the activities of the local vicar (Peter Cushing), is he hiding something?
An interesting mix of costumed melodrama, adventure, and horror, with more than a touch of saturday morning matinee about it, and features the then current hammer stable of actors including Oliver Reed.

escape route (1952)


aka I'll Get You.
George Raft is an FBI agent on the trail of kidnapped nuclear scientists. He smuggles himself into Britain and teams up with a beautiful British military intelligence officer (Sally Gray). George ends up battling it out with the crooks where every self respecting crime drama in London ends up - the docks, defeats them and still has enough left in him to charm the lady!
An undemanding quota quickie, starring a tired looking Raft, that Lippert took to America.
