Freeview (UK) #film of the day :

Really rather brilliant crime thriller Cash on Demand (1961 80 mins.) starring Peter Cushing and Andre Morell.

Made on a tiny budget but director Quentin Lawrence keeps things moving.

Cash on Demand (1961)

A criminal holds a bank manager's family hostage, and forces him to help with a robbery. Crime thriller, starring Peter Cushing and Andre Morell
