Compact semidocumentary saluting the London policeman in his fight against crime. Dixon: Jack Warner. Riley: Dirk Bogarde. Mitchell: Jimmy Hanley. Spud: Patric Doonan. Cherry: Bernard Lee. Roberts: Robert Flemyng.
The apprehension of a cop killer, with a classic performance from Bogarde and an excruciating car chase, borrowing a page from Hitchcock. Very neat all around.
