Lawrence, mainly a TV director, was assigned by Hammer to direct this adaptation of Jacques Gillies television play The Gold Inside, which he'd also directed and also had André Morell as the robber. The screenplay is by David Chantler and Lewis Greifer.
Peter Cushing is great as the draconian bank manager whose world falls apart when Morell threatens his wife and kid and forces him to help him rob the bank.
Richard Vernon is the very familiar face that bugged us, so familiar and on TV lots, but from what specifically I can't say. Duchess of Duke Street and The Camomile Lawn are two on his long CV.
Also with Norman Bird. Photographed by Arthur Grant.
