Doublecross
Exciting British B-movie about a Cornish poacher who clashes with dangerous international spies.
Director: Anthony Squire
Overview
Filmed on the stunning coastline of South Cornwall, Doublecross is a thrilling British B-movie about a fishing village caught up in international espionage. Matinee idol Donald Houston stars as Albert, a cheeky Cornish fisherman who agrees to smuggle a criminal gang across the English Channel. He discovers, too late, that his passengers have stolen state documents and intend to kill him - can his quick thinking and subterfuge rescue the situation?
Houston leads a fine cast of familiar faces, including suave but stern German actor Anton Diffring, and William Hartnell, the first Doctor Who. There are early roles too for Kenneth Cope of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) fame and Robert Shaw, who was also the film's Cornish dialect coach.
