The Steel Key
The Steel Key is a 1953 British thriller film directed by Robert S. Baker and starring Terence Morgan, Joan Rice and Raymond Lovell. Premise. Adventurer Johnny O'Flynn (Terence Morgan) attempts to track down thieves who have stolen a secret military formula for producing hardened steel; but ruthless others who will stop at nothing are also on the trail. Critical reception. "TV Guide" gave the film two out of five stars, calling it a "Silly spy drama...The complicated plot doesn't quite work, but audiences should enjoy it anyway"; while "Allmovie" wrote, "a little-known British melodrama  with some potent talent involved, including actors Terence Morgan and Joan Rice and future "Saint" director Robert Baker"; and "Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings" concluded, "It's a British B-movie thriller with slight touches of noir to it, and it's moderately entertaining. It's worth a look for the curious, if you can find it."
