The Hi-Jackers… 1963

‘The Hi-Jackers’ from Butcher Films… features Anthony Booth and Jacqueline Ellis. A neat and interesting little screenplay in which a band of characters steal a lorry-load of Scotch Whisky. At his very best is the fatherly figure of Derek Francis as the gang boss with strong support from David Gregory, Romo Gorrara, and Glynn Edwards (later to become a regular in the TV series of Boon) This is a well-rounded British thriller!

Smokescreen 1964…

A very tight absorbing little screenplay from Butcher Films, set in and around Brighton Sussex. It features Peter Vaughan and John Carson as two Insurance men on the trail of a clever deception… also includes some wonderful moments from Derick (Korky) Guyler, David Gregory and Romo Gorrara.
