Man With a Gun (1958)

Cult-favourite actor and B-Movie stalwart Lee Patterson stars as an insurance claims investigator with a nose for trouble in this late '50s noir thriller; notable as Michael Winner s first feature-length screenwriting credit, Man with a Gun also features the combined talents of John le Mesurier, Rona Anderson and director Montgomery Tully. The film is presented here in a brand-new digital transfer from original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

A £20,000 insurance claim is lodged when a nightclub is destroyed by fire, and claims investigator Mike Davies is assigned to get to the bottom of things. One suspect is Harry Drayson, the club owner but if he torched his own property for the insurance, how safe are his other, heavily-insured properties..?
