Strictly Confidential is a 1959 British second feature ('B')[1] comedy film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Richard Murdoch, William Kendall, Maya Koumani and Neil Hallett.[2] The screenplay was by Brock Williams. Two con-men, recently released from prison, are enlisted by a widow to help her recover control of her late husband's business.
Released from prison, two genteel con-men, former Commander Binham-Ryley and former Major Rory McQuarry, target a beautiful and wealthy young widow who hires them to run her factory. What the crooks fail to realise is that Maxine Millard has devious schemes of her own in mind.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A cheap and shoddy little farce in a long outmoded tradition. Vulgar double-entendres take the place of wit and the actors struggle helplessly against impossible odds. "[3]
