Locker Sixty-Nine (also known as Locker 69) is a 1962 British film directed by Norman Harrison and starring Eddie Byrne and Paul Daneman.[1][2][3] It was written by Richard Harris based on a story by Edgar Wallace. It was an episode of the Edgar Wallace Mysteries series.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The original story from which this script was taken is not one of Edgar Wallace's better known efforts, but it is a good example of the type of mystery writing at which he excelled, even if the 'gimmick' surprise is not, in fact, surprising. The plot depends stirely on the intricacies of its development, but all is smoothly done."[4]
Kine Weekly wrote: "The entire cast thoroughly enters into the spirit of the extravagant malarky, and the director, too, sees that never a trick is missed ... The picture has both ingenuity and invention and contains all the tension and excitement of popular 'murder' mystery without producing the corpse. Eddie Byrne does an expert job as newshound Simon; Edward Underdown is a smooth Bennett: and Penelope Horner makes a glamorous and disarming Julie."[5]
