Scontato un periodo di detenzione a Reading, Johnny Bannion, malavitoso cinico, ma leale, si riunisce alla banda, con la quale organizza la rapina ad un ippodromo, che frutta un cospicuo

bottino di 40.000 sterline. Tradito dalla sua ex, Maggie, gelosa della sua relazione con Suzanne, è costretto a tornare all' "ovile", con la prospettiva di una lunga permanenza, prima di

poter godere il frutto delle sue fatiche. Del resto, la sua conoscenza dell'ambiente del carcere e il rispetto di cui gode da parte di detenuti e anche secondini rendono sopportabile tale

prospettiva........

Storyline

American expatriate Joseph Losey ("The Servant"/"The Go-Between") directed this intense British underworld crime story about a career criminal and his downfall. It was tightly scripted by

Jimmy Sangster and Alun Owen. The Criminal plays as a tough prison pic, one that is more gritty than the usual British crime caper. It was originally advertised as "The Toughest Film Ever

Made in Britain!" I saw it on its new release on DVD, and was impressed with the quality of its b/w photography and with the way its grainy colors magnified the grim prison setting. It hits

the spot immediately as Cleo Laine sings over the opening credits a prison ballad entitled "Thieving Boy." But what elevates the film beyond its well-executed but familiar criminal double-

cross tale, are all the fine performances from the superb cast. Stanley Baker as a crime big shot named Johnny Bannion sparkles as the loner, hard-boiled con with a penchant for violence

and self-destruction. His greed for money and then for revenge blinds him and forces him to make bad decisions, and eventually he's too trapped to escape from his life. While Sam Wanamaker,

who like Joseph Losey fled to England as a result of the Hollywood blacklist, excels as his nemesis in the crime organization. Patrick Magee as the sadistic prison guard, gives a striking

performance as a demented servant of the public
