Aided by the glamorous police agent (Barbara Laage) they also expose a counterfeit ring. Sydney Tafler and Norman Wooland also star.

REVIEW BY CLUB MEMBER: Mr John Love From Henley-In-Arden: “An excellent well made murder trial film. A good cast of well known british actors of the period including some French. The IMDB site seems to think it is a french film, slightly wrong i think.another i remeber from my days with Rank…”

Our Second release is another CRIME film THE GILDED CAGE

Review By Club Member Mr John Love from Henley-In-Arden:
“Another ' good old Eros' release with American Actors for interest. good cast of the usual British actors,- a well made film with the usual 'Nightclub sequences'. Reminds me of "Meet Mr Callaghan".
Can you spot the continituty error- when hes being locked in the cupboard? Enjoy! “

And our THIRD Release A Double-bill of British thrillers,

(Montgomery Tully, 1960) and Monkey's Paw

Seeing only the best in him, his wife Jean, (Patrica Dainton) supports David the best she can. Then, out of the blue, Jean is left a house by a distant Aunt. She hopes that it will provide the fresh start they need - but David plans to dispose of Jean and have the house for himself and his lover. However, the house has other ideas...
Monkey's Paw: A film based on the famous horror short story by author WW Jacob and filmed at Kay Carlton Hill Studios in St John's Wood, London. A curio dealer sells a monkey's paw that can grant the owner three wishes but warns that disaster will follow.

Review By Club Member Mr J.Love: “ this was a British 'quota quickie' IMDB quotes no less than 12 versions made of this film. Good supporting cast- including Alfie Bass and a young Sydney Tafler- entertaining.”
