(1957, Upgraded 12/20/21) Robert Beatty, Betty McDowall, Lee Patterson, Vincent Winters, Robert Ayres, Alan Gifford, Sean Connery. A banker's son is accidently locked in an air-tight vault that's not set to open again for over 60 hours. The problem is that the boy has, at most, ten hours of oxygen left. It's a life-and-death race against time to save the boy's life in this great British thriller. The director, Gerald Thomas, did a good job in getting his cast to show greater and greater emotional intensity as the minutes go ticking by, especially from the mother, Betty McDowall. Look for a pre-James Bond Sean Connery in a small part as a welder. From a very nice 16mm original print.
