Most people of say 35 plus will remember this case,it was a crime which shocked Britain,the kidnapping of a 17 year old girl held hostage underground in a drain shaft.This film was made three years after the event and was banned at a lot of the cinema's in the Midlands,it gives a good insight of the case and the circumstances which led up to the case.The criminal Donald Neilson dubbed the Black Panther by the media was a very disturbed man who held a grudge against society and drew up a plan to get rich by robbing sub post offices and then decided to progress to kidnapping.Donald Sumpter plays the part very well,and the film is accurate in content,it looks very dated now but captures the era of the time well.This film will appeal to anyone who remembers the case or to someone interested in Criminology.Donald Neilson passed away in Norwich Hospital on 18/12/11 The Black Panther was never let out of his cage the end of a truly evil man.
