Lots of 1960s jazz-style music sets the tone for this disappointingly run-of-the-mill crime noir from John Gilling. Janine Gray works for a jeweller in London's famous Hatton Garden when she falls victim to a robbery that kills her boss and leaves her unconscious. She awakens with amnesia and in panic goes into hiding - not just from the pursuing police, but also from her boyfriend (Dyson Lovell) who is mixed up with the thieves. In her confusion, she encounters a boxer - Glyn Houston - who takes a shine to her and gives her shelter whilst she begins to piece it all together. It has more action - including a boxing match - than many of it's British counterparts and the acting is solid enough; but nothing much new to see here...
