DATE WITH DISASTER 1957 (RENOWN)

A fast moving British crime film from the same director and producer who gave the world "The Woman Eater".

Tom Drake stars as Miles Harrington, a man who owns a small used car selling business in England. His employees, Don Redman (Maurice Kaufman) and Ken Prescott (Richard Shaw) are planning on stealing 600,000 pounds from a safe.

Miles knows nothing of this and life goes on pretty much as usual until the robbery and then the trouble starts. Don has a bad temper that eventually gets him killed by Ken.

Miles has a romantic interest in a young woman named Sue Miller (Shirley Eaton) and who can blame him. Shirley looks super hot in this film. Anyway, things soon get out of hand and ken finds himself on the run from the police.

There are no real surprises in this movie, but it does hold your attention and moves at a good pace. It's only 60 minutes and they try and pack as much as they can into the scant running time.

I would recommend this to mystery fans as wll as Eaton fans. Not too shabby.
