Today on TCM:

‘Noiristas’, seeking a slick and twisty British Neo-noir from Hammer Studios, need look no further than Hidden Gem #35 Cash on Demand, released in 1961. This grippingly intense psychological crime thriller features a Scrooge-like bank manager played by Peter Cushing about to get his comeuppance after being introduced to a most superior officer (André Morell). Cash will indeed be demanded during the Christmas season both on-screen and off, Monday, December 18 at 8 pm PST.
