High Jump is a low budget 1959 British crime film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Richard Wyler and Lisa Daniely. [1] [2] It was written by Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard, and produced by The Danzigers.
A former trapeze artist becomes involved in a jewel robbery.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "An indifferently written and directed Danziger production along the usual lines, none too convincingly played, and marking the British debut, as Richard Wyler, of Hollywood actor Richard Stapley." [3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Uninteresting thriller." [4]
TV Guide wrote, "blase attempt to create an exciting crime drama quickly loses much impact in the opening scenes...The addition of a sex angle did absolutely nothing to heighten interest." [5]
