The Lamp in Assassin Mews is a 1962 'B'[1] British comedy crime film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Francis Matthews, Lisa Daniely and Ian Fleming.
[2][3] The film's plot concerns a local council's plans to gentrify an area, which are disrupted by a series of murders.
[4] Modernising councillor Jack Norton becomes the target of a couple of elderly serial killers when he plans to remove a gas lamp outside their home.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A curious blend of romance and comedy tinged with drama, the story is puerile, and many might feel that the murderous old pair, likeable though they may be, are not at all funny.
The musical score makes extensive use of a motif which appeared briefly in Three Spare Wives [1962].
