[Starring] Peter Sellers
Starring Richard Todd, Adam Faith

A meek and unsuccessful salesman has the misfortune to fall foul of a ruthless and vicious garage owner who runs a well-organised converted car racket.
The film marked another first in the amazing career of Peter Sellers. For his realistic portrayal of the brutal and sadistic Lionel Meadows, Sellers departed from his serio-comic little man roles to play a British tough guy whose ruthlessness more than equals that of any Hollywood gangster.
