Warner Bros rarely pushed lead roles Pat O'Brien's way. Even so, it's hard to fathom why he crossed the Atlantic for the starring role in this far-fetched B-movie. You might expect an impoverished father trying to fund his son's eye operation to resort to some pretty desperate tactics but confessing to a murder in order to raise the money? Hardly the behaviour of an ace reporter, although he does come to his senses in time to crack a diamond-smuggling racket. Terence Fisher directs with little enthusiasm, but it's worth hanging in there to catch the debut of Tommy Steele.

Summary

A poverty-stricken journalist hits on a unique method of raising the money to pay for his desperately ill son's operation - confessing to a murder he never committed. Melodrama, with Pat O'Brien, George Coulouris and Lois Maxwell, better known as Miss Moneypenny in the first 14 Bond movies.
