In a world of gangs and villains, one man – Moon – will stop at nothing to get the girl and take the spoils. Pete Walker’s affectionate low-budget homage to the gangster thriller is packed with sights and sounds from a Britain about to swing out of the Sixties and into a somewhat less optimistic decade.
