Criminal, The (1960, Stanley Baker, Sam Wanamaker)
In tough crime drama The Criminal when a robbery at a racetrack goes wrong ex-con Johnny Bannion is caught and sent back to prison. He won’t tell the rest of the gang where he has stashed the loot leading to violent consequences.
Directed by Joseph Losey, The Criminal is a hugely under rated movie. A movie full of great performances not least from the fab Stanley Baker but almost every part is played by a familiar British character actor.
