The Gentle Trap is a 1960 British second feature ('B')[1] black and white film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Spencer Teakle, Felicity Young and Martin Benson.[2][3] It was written by Brock Williams and produced by Jack Parsons for Butcher's Film Service.
When a diamond robbery goes wrong, young locksmith turned first-time thief Johnny Ryan is on the run from the police and from crooked club owner Ricky Barnes. Ryan seeks refuge in a seedy nightclub and meets Mary, a tough blonde who lets him hide in her flat, which she shares with her sister Jean.
