Excellent, Forgotten UK Caper Film

Terence Morgan heads the cast in this well-wrought crime story climaxing with a dramatic caper sequence. He's a dastardly type, using women as tools to financial ends. Romancing an innocent young Asian student, he plans a robbery at her country's embassy. His helpers are excellent John Crawford and William Hartnell as the safe-cracker who considers himself an 'artist'. The dialog is often clever and amusing. There are no weak links in the cast that includes Mai Zetterling, Yoko Tani, Charles Kay and great Dennis Price. A jazz-inflected score works well in some scenes, many of which are filmed on London locations. The title apparently refers to the fictional "Belgravia" Underground station in the story. Director Wolf Rilla really scores with this one. Recommended.
