Storyline

- TriviaThis B-movie seems t have had a convoluted history. It was passed by the BBFC as Cat and Mouse at 85m 49s on February 18th 1958 with the distributor listed as Anvil Films. It was then passed on December 11th 1958 as The Desperate Ones at the same running time with the distributor listed as Eros Films. It does not seem to have had a UK release until it went out in February 1960 (as Cat and Mouse) as supporting film to "Butterfield 8" on the ABC circuit, cut to 79 minutes.
- Quotes
Det. Supt. Harding: I know that look of yours Stuart. Alright, let's have it.
Det. Sgt. Paige: Well, sir. If this ginger-headed chap and his girlfriend were in this lark together, you'd rightly expect only one bed to have been used upstairs, not two.
Det. Supt. Harding: You've got a nasty mind.

Featured review
No acting to speak of, soporific directing, dialogue-by-numbers, poor Victor Maddern looks ridiculous as the CID man with the obligatory trench coat and pipe.
