Tread softly stranger (1958)
George Minter put the making of this British classic on hold for several months until Diana Dors was free and we can see why! He was so determined to get her - she'd been tied up in a previous contract for films at the time and so had not been available for several months. She gets top billing in this - and no wonder!
Dors plays a good time girl who's bent on getting the guy with the money to go with it! Hypnotised by her beauty, 'Dave' (Terence Morgan) is blinded by the fact that she's not in love with him, and is persuaded to do a robbery, but all goes wrong and everything backfires...
There's plenty of tense moments and lots of suspense in this crime thriller, with one or two 'twists' thrown in for good measure!
This has been a dreadfully long time coming out on DVD, but has been well worth the wait since this has been lovingly re-mastered to an exceptionally high quality.
Also stars; Patrick Allen, George Baker and Jane Griffiths.
The title song was recorded by Jim Dale.
