Echo of Barbara is a 1960 British crime film directed by Sidney Hayers, and starring Mervyn Johns and Maureen Connell. It was written by John Kruse based on the 1959 novel of the same title by Jonathan Burke.[1] [2] [3]
Soho stripper Paula Brown poses as Barbara, the missing sister of crooked Sam Roscoe, hoping to uncover the whereabouts of stolen money.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An intricate and implausible impersonation story, made without style and falling back on sleazy and violent backgrounds and incidents to whip up some artificial excitement."[4]
Allmovie called it "a better-than-usual British programmer, entertaining despite its surplus of unpleasant leading characters."[5]
