Victor Mature was mature... already 44 when he made this one. it's a remake of an old story... Harry, the ex soldier and family man, gets out of the service, but to make ends meet, he takes part in some less than proper activities, in england. co-star Diana Dors was only about 25. she's the blond bombshell that seems to be around whenever Harry gets into trouble. and his boss is "Mister Easy". when Harry tries to get out of it all, he finds you can't leave the business that easily. a noir. hauling contraband up over the mountains, on a treacherous road. all kinds of suspense, enough for a couple hitchcock films. and the music to match. Directed by Ken Hughes. Hughes had written and directed some biggies in his time. it's pretty good. some minor flaws, but its all believe-able enough.
