Man with a Gun is a low-budget 1958 British second feature ('B')[1] crime film directed by Montgomery Tully and starring Lee Patterson, Rona Anderson and John Le Mesurier.[2] [3] The screenplay was by Michael Winner.[4]
Insurance investigator Mike Davies looks into a suspicious fire that burned down a nightclub. He initially suspects the club's manager, Harry Drayson, but after Davies meets Drayson's niece Stella, she helps him uncover a mob protection scheme responsible for the arson.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This crime melodrama is a routine British second feature competently made and efficiently acted. Although it has few distinctive features it fulfils its purpose in a workmanlike way."[5]
TV Guide called it a "so-so crime story. Despite some fast pacing in the direction, the script is too simplistic for the fare."[6]
