CAT & MOUSE (1958) Lee Patterson, Ann Sears, Hilton Edwards, Victor Maddern, Stuart Saunders. Patterson (from Jack the Ripper) is truly detestable as a shiftless army deserter who blackmails a young lady (Sears) into revealing the hiding place of some jewels stolen by her father some twenty years before. Maddern shines as the detective on Patterson's trail. You’ll crack a smile at the scene where Sears is knocked out by a flying pillow! This likable British crime film also sports a superb jazz-like score by Edwin Astley. Not a bad way to kill eighty minutes. From 16mm.
