This first-class thriller follows a salesman, brilliantly played by Todd, whose quest to recover his stolen car leads him into the hands of a brutal London gang, led by a cast-against-type Sellers. Guillermin’s brassy precision, revealing his fascination with characters driven by obsession and psychopathy, is heightened by John Barry’s score and Ralph Sheldon’s fast, riotous editing.

We will meet near the box office and (for those members that can attend) go for a drink/snack afterwards at the venue.

P.S. There are a few other films at BFI in late May that could be of interest to members. This includes 'The Gold Rush' on the 17th (that some of us went to in Sept 25 at Cine Lumiere), and 'The Bad and the Beautiful' on the 24th. If anyone wishes to host either of these films please contact me.
