Johnny on the Spot is a 1954 British 'B'[1] crime drama film directed by Maclean Rogers and starring Hugh McDermott, Elspet Gray and Paul Carpenter.

[2] It was written by Rogers based on the 1953 novel Paid in Full by Michael Cronin.

[citation needed] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An indifferently made thriller, so confused in its narrative development that the plot becomes at times very nearly incomprehensible.

"[3] Kine Weekly wrote: "The picture keeps well on the move and, despite the fact that its sense of direction is none too sure, neatly tempers suspense with refreshing romance.

Hugh McDermott registers as Johnny and Elspet Gray pleases as Joan, but neither has anything on Ronald Adam, as Inspector Beveridge.
