| "The Contents of This Bag in the Wrong Hands Could Be Very Dangerous..."

Playing like a feature-length public information film about the correct handling of poisons. This early second feature from the producers who later brought us 'The 'Avengers', in addition to giving a rare big screen leading role to Geoffrey Keen, looks good and boasts a sardonic wit and an atmospheric score by the distinguished composer William Alwyn. Well worth catching.
