Three Crooked Men is a 1958 British 'B'[1] crime film directed by Ernest Morris and starring Gordon Jackson.
A passerby, a bank employee, hears him shout knocks on the front door, tries to help, but he too is captured.
While awaiting court the two men return to the store come across a photo which had been dropped during the break-in and decide their best chance is to track down the thieves themselves.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This film falls between two stools: it builds up some suspense as a crime melodrama; it is occasionally interesting as a character study of two men, Wescot and Prinn, who imagine themselves to be failures, but, as a result of the events in the story, recover their sense of purpose.
But the two halves are awkwardly joined, and despite good performances from Gordon Jackson and Warren Mitchell, the long arm of coincidences is sometimes violently wrenched.
