The Story
This crime thriller for Anglo-Amalgamated was Gerry Anderson's directorial
film debut, and the only feature-length film to be made by AP Films, co-founded
by the legendary puppet pioneer in 1957.
Released in 1960 between the making of Four Feather Falls and
Supercar, Crossroads to Crime features the talents of
several of Anderson's later Supermarionation collaborators, including voice
artists George Murcell and David Graham, Anderson's future wife Sylvia Thamm (an
uncredited continuity supervisor), and Barry Gray, whose iconic themes famously
complemented the Supermarionation series of the 1960s. Released here for the
first time, the film is presented in a brand-new transfer from the original film
elements.
PC Don Ross suspects that a gang of lorry hijackers, operating from a transport
café, is behind a series of vehicle thefts. When his suspicions are dismissed by
his superiors, Ross decides to conduct his own undercover investigation, and
sets out to collect vital evidence that could convict the gang...
