After the crime Freddie ends up, by accident, being in possession of the loot. Gerry and the gang of course want it back but a complication is that Freddie's young boy heart has been broken by Molly...
A tense drama, evocative with the sights and sounds of late 1950s London, with a lot of bombed out buildings still around. The film packs in the emotion, and many emotions too. The film may be a bit slow at times but personally i felt it made good use of the extra time.
