Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlexander Korda thought the film was dreadful and would only be given a limited country release with no London showing, but another film failed and Korda's company was approached for a replacement. 'Nightbeat' was all that they could offer but at the press show the critics thought it was awful and the only good thing was the performance of Michael Medwin.
- Quotes
Felix Fenton: It's no good, Andy, you're coming down with me.
[Andy pulls a knife]
Felix Fenton: That's no good to you...
Andy Kendall: You're talking from the wrong end!
Felix Fenton: Dont be a fool - if you kill me, it's murder. If I kill you, I've got to make it out in triplicate. I hate writing.

Christine Nordelph shines
Nordelph shines in this with smouldering sensuality as the precursor to Diana Dors.Mind you it wasn't that difficult since she was appearing with three extremely poor leading me.What this film really needed was a Stewart Granger,James Mason or Herbert Lom.This was a fairly average crime thriller of the period.Which meant that it was rather more races than its prewar equivalents
