The Gentle Trap is a 1960 British second feature ('B')[1] black and white film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Spencer Teakle, Felicity Young and Martin Benson.
When a diamond robbery goes wrong, young locksmith turned first-time thief Johnny Ryan is on the run from the police and from crooked club owner Ricky Barnes.
Ryan seeks refuge in a seedy nightclub and meets Mary, a tough blonde who lets him hide in her flat, which she shares with her sister Jean.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A cut to pattern, rough-and-ready crime thriller, energetically performed but too transparent to maintain the necessary tension.
Only devoted fans of its leading actor Spencer Teakle and actress Felicity Young, who plays a rather feeble femme fatale, will bother to watch.
