- A 1961 British film about extortion rackets and gang warfare in the West End of London. It stars Sean Connery, who plays a burglar called Paddy Damion.

However Damion has his wits about him. Although he has a girlfriend, he seduces the beautiful Anya (Yvonne Romain), the mistress of the seedy and sinister crime boss Zhernikov (Herbert Lom). Detective Inspector Sayers (John Gregson) is the policeman dedicated to tackling organized crime.
