THE STEEL KEY (1953) Terence Morgan, Joan Rice, Raymond Lovell, Dianne Foster. Morgan is a suave, roguish fellow who lives on the edge of criminality while bringing crooks to justice himself—much like “The Saint.” In this well-made British thriller (with a slight sci-fi element), he investigates a gang of crooks who have stolen (from a blind professor) a scientific formula for hardening metal. Lots of plot twists interlaced with head-scratching intrigue, all flattered by interesting characters. British actresses didn’t come much more lovely than Rice. 16mm.
