The Marked One is a 1963 British second feature [1] crime film directed by Francis Searle and starring William Lucas, Zena Walker and Patrick Jordan. [2] An ex-con's daughter is kidnapped by a blackmailer.
Truck driver Don Mason is an ex-con who served time for involvement in a forgery racket, and is now trying to go straight. A blackmailer demands the plates used in the forgery, threatening Mason's wife and kidnapping their child.
The film was made at MGM Studios, Borehamwood. [1]
Monthly Film Bulletin said "Spot-the-blackmailer crime thriller, quite neatly built but sleazy and slackly motivated (why is everyone so crassly opposed to going to the police?). The direction is nondescript; William Lucas, Zena Walker and Brian Nissen act well despite stereotyped roles." [3]
