[julian_craster]

The voluptuous Jill Ireland stars as Sue, a striptease artist, in this tough British crime drama that sees her playing opposite to her real-life husband of the time, David McCallum. Jungle Street has McCallum playing Terry Collins, a small time thug, constantly at war with his family, employers and the world. Whilst his friend Johnny (Kenneth Cope) is in prison, taking the rap for a robbery they both committed, Terry tries to muscle in on his girlfriend Sue. But when Johnny is released and comes looking for Terry and the money from the robbery, the two men are on a collision course that can only end in murder... Five people are soon to find their lives inextricably entwined for the worse. Two youths (Malcolm Gerard and Michael Davis) have been searching for girls and end up in a fight with a policeman. The policeman falls and is hit by a car driven by Lisa (Jeanne Moody) and her secret lover John (Anthony Steel). When Lisa s husband Charles finds the police waiting to interview his wife, the tangle of lies and deceit that the night started with, begins to slowly unravel.

Thanks for the info Julian.......can't say I've heard of these Movies but they sound like my cuppa Tea!



I don't think it's the same film (maybe someone can clarify) but I recall watching an early 60's black & white film once and I think it was Kenneth Cope in Prison (plus the 'big bloke' who's pic was shown just a couple of days ago with an Actor who is now in his 90's, but I can't recall the thread!) I recall Patrick Magee as a sadistic Prison Warden calling fellow Wardens 'Mister' in a strident way.....

That would be Kenneth Cope and Neil MCarthy in The Criminal with Big Stan.

Worth noting, well at least IMHO, is that A Matter of Choice was co-written by the great Derren Nesbitt



Well worth seeking out.
