    Wrestling with his conscience
    Firstly can i say that i really enjoyed the very funny scene in the bank with the wrestlers rehearsing their fight.There seemed to be any number of British crime films of this era where criminals were breaking into bank vaults.Thé only difference in this film is the presence or an undercover policeman,hence the pun in the title.A reasonable but not memorable film.
