A Taste of Money is a 1960 British comedy film directed by Max Varnel and starring Jean Cadell, Dick Emery and Pete Murray. It was written by Mark Grantham and produced by the Danzigers.[1]
An elderly spinster who works as a cashier for an insurance company plots to rob her employers by concocting the perfect crime.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "There are some loose ends and a tediously conventional love interest, but the scene in which Miss Brill, firmly but subtly played by Jean Cadell, visits a sleazy night club in search of crooks to help her, is really rather funny. The whole thing is slight and sentimental, but above the Danzigers' usual level."[2]
TV Guide called the film "an uninspired comedy," and noted, "Cadell, at 76 years of age, turns in a charming performance, but that alone cannot save the picture from mediocrity."[3]
Sky Movies wrote: "minor but amusing British comedy that's all the better for its coat of Technicolor. Character actress Jean Cadell is a joy in a rare leading role, and Dick Emery makes a perfect not-quite-funny gangster as his best work for the cinema. Christina Gregg is a pretty heroine in a film, which breaks little fresh ground, yet remains constantly entertaining thanks to good performances."[4]
