Timid Sam (Nigel Patrick) crunches numbers for a jewelry dealer, but secretly daydreams about nabbing a priceless gem from his employer. After some careful planning, Sam works up the courage to do the heist, but in the process impulsively shoots a cop who catches him. He then jets off to Europe, where he lives the high life. Trudie (Anita Ekberg), however, a more seasoned crook, shadows Sam. All the while private investigator March (Jack Palance) quietly keeps tabs on both parties.
Jack Palance (Torture Garden), Anita Ekberg (La dolce vita), Nigel Patrick (The Virgin Soldiers), and Anthony Newley (Jazz Boat) star in The Man Inside, a pan-European crime caper directed by John Gilling (The Pirates of Blood River).
After stealing a cache of diamonds, jeweller Sam Carter (Patrick) is chased across a series of European capitals by Detective March (Palance), a mysterious beauty named Trudi (Ekberg), and a pair of thugs.
With supporting turns from British screen legends Sid James (Wicked as They Come) and Donald Pleasence (The Devil’s Men), The Man Inside was co-produced by Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli and co-written by Richard Malbaum, soon to be driving forces behind the James Bond series.
