This was one of a few pre-Hammer films that Designer Bernard Robinson and Cinematographer Jack Asher collaborated on (the others were "Albert R.N." & "Reach For The Sky") and I recall, among other scenes, a brief graveyard scene that had the distinct atmosphere that would be a Hammer trademark a few years later.

I think the narrator of this fine film is unfortunately uncredited.

A young Edward Judd appeared as an up and coming boxer.

TGDY must be one of my favourite 50's films, a gripping story well told

Richard Basehart was in Europe a lot during this period, he made several European films including Fellini's excellent La Strada. Gloria had gained a reputation as being 'difficult' which resulted in her Hollywood career being derailed on a few occasions. It was during one of these periods that she made TGDY, but returned to Hollywood and considerable acclaim for several fine performances. John Ireland's US career as a leading man was on the wane at that time and he was turning more to TV shows, so he was probably happy to take on a leading role in a UK feature. His career post TGDY was mainly on TV, in B-movies and in European productions. The guy playing GG's lover was Lee Patterson, a familiar face in UK movies inc RFTS.

I saw this some time back, and was not that impressed despite the presence of the young Joan Collins, Gloria Graheme and Laurence Harvey's "psycho-cad". Thought it was more soap opera than crime flick.

If I had closed my eyes I could have imagined Vincent Price as the narrator. That hypnotic voice

He is credited with a number of narratives from the 50s and 60s
