The Set Up (1963 film)

The Set Up (also known as The Set-up) is a 1963 British second feature film directed by Gerard Glaister and starring Maurice Denham, John Carson and Maria Corvin.

When Payne does the robbery he finds no jewellery in the house safe, only documents and a gun.

But Inspector Jackson, the investigating officer, finds everything too neat, and is sympathetic to Payne's denial of murder.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Another in the Edgar Wallace series, and rather below par, despite the welcome reappearance of Maurice Denham.

Particularly weak is a scene in which Payne, eluding the police, is befriended by a girl in whose bungalow he is hiding.
