Synopsis and outline

Sammy Lee has five hours to pay off a gambling debt.

Andrew Pulver wrote in November 2016 for The Guardian at the time of the film's re-release: "It’s a genuine curiosity: the last knockings of black-and-white, beat-influenced hipster cinema before a tide of gaudily-coloured, new wave-inspired, pop art films. Ken Hughes, its director, reached back to the prewar working-class bohemianism so perfectly captured by Graham Greene and Gerald Kersh".[2]
