SPOILER below:

It makes sense that Paul Gregory decided to run away. When he sees that Bridget leaves her uncle's house in Wales with the London policemen, he assumes that she has turned him in. His own distrust does him in.

But I didn't like him getting shot. Seemed too pat a way to wrap up the movie.

The death penalty for murder was not abolished until 1965.
When the movie was made Gregory would have faced hanging for the death of his fellow criminal. It was pretty typical of those crime dramas of the period that an attractive villain had to pay for his crimes...

Come on lads, bags of swank!
