Ladylike Diana Napier is unexpectedly coarse as the female gang boss in
Bait. Napier only behaves herself around her lover John Bentley-at least
until he spurns her. In retaliation, she frames Bentley for her brother's
murder. A knuckle-tough British programmer, Bait is well acted by all
concerned. Frank Richardson directed this cinema adaptation of his own
stage play.
