Kate Plus Ten (DVD)

Jack Hulbert, Genevieve Tobin, Noel Madison, Francis Sullivan, Arthur Wonter. In this great Edgar Wallace thriller, Hulbert is a slick policeman out to nab Tobin and her criminal gang. Watch for the great scene where her gang robs a bank in the black of the night only to find the building encircled by police. Later, the gang heists a train loaded with gold bullion. When the police pursue, the train seemingly vanishes into thin air! The action all at night leads to a little used siding and a deserted loading station. The editing during the action sequences is superb, adding to the thrilling nature of the goings-on. Tobin is wickedly delightful as Kate. Madison is at his sleazy best as one of her gunmen. The patter between Tobin and Hulbert is delightful. A grand film from start to finish. 16mm.
