4.0 out of 5 stars tough and ruthless., 25 Jul 2006
By Mr. A. E. Ward Davies (Canterbury , England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hell Is A City [1959] [VHS] [1960] (VHS Tape)
i sometimes forget that "hammer" didn't just produce horror films every year. others genres covered include thriller(like this one), war, comedy, action/adventure etc.
i haven't seen many "hammer" thrillers, but this is a good place to start.
stanley baker scores as an overworked, frustrated, police inspector who is hunting down a sadistic killer who's broken out of jail and looking for stolen money.
there are a few familiar faces in this one; donald pleasence, billie whitelaw, george a. cooper, warren mitchell.
a tough and somewhat daring film, there is more foul language than i thought, a few minor sexual references and quite nasty violence, but a "P.G" rating is suitable.
it's an added bonus that the film wasn't just based in manchester, but actually filmed there as well. that adds realism.
it is a shame to think that by the mid-60s, stanley baker would end up as the forgotten film star; where as the likes of michael caine and sean connery would prosper to superstardom.
one of the better police thrillers i have seen.
