Appointment With Crime - 1946 - 6/10

Quick job. Smash the glass, grab the jewelry, hop into the nearby getaway car.
Easy, yes? Wrong. Which is why Leo winds up doing a stretch in prison.
Once his sentence is finished, he hunts for the men who left him there.
Dark little British Noir is filled with memorable, peculiar characters.
Likewise the bristling dialogue, and cheap view of life that steeps this one.
Best, however, is the merciless Leo, perfectly played by William Hartnell.
For you Doctor Who fanatics, he simply nails it.
