Man Who Couldn't Walk is a 1960 British film directed by Henry Cass and starring Eric Pohlmann and Peter Reynolds. [1] The screenplay was by Umesh Malik.
It was one of several British crime films starring Reynolds. [2]
A gang of jewel thieves led by a man in a wheelchair hire a top safecracker.
Filming started on 11 January 1960 at Walton Studios. [3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This unexceptional thriller has a tortuous and unlikely plot, ... a slick American idiom at variance with the London setting ... and a tendency to romanticise its unpleasant characters. It creates the general impression of being a rehash of incidents from the innumerable safe-breaking, bank or jewel robbery films of the last year or so." [4]
Kine Weekly wrote the film "packs quite a punch for its size... a reliable quota second." [5]
Variety said the film "comptently fulfils its mission." [6] When film was released in the US in 1964 Variety reviewed the movie again, calling it "routine but adequate". [7]
