Is anyone familiar with this British film noir?

It is interesting to note that the first four characters listed all did an episode by the same name in the American tv series "Kraft Mystery Theatre".

Never heard of that one! Sounds like it should appear on the Matinee Movies Channel. Where did you see it?

Yes, I've got this little gem............somewhere!

I've never seen it; I'm only aware of the title from having studied the filmography of my favorite actor, the one whose films I'm seeking out with such a vengeance.
