One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Another one of those quota filling English first halves badly shot, directed and played in unconvincing B feature studio settings.Because it departs from the crime formula, this one is actually above average with a jokey plot about an insurance clerk who becomes the terror of the underworld when he unconvincingly knocks down a couple of extras with his umbrella. Faint echoes of IRMA LA DOUCE.The fetching Angela Douglas lacks star potential, looking working class and talking R.A.D.A.
