The Fur Collar is a 1962 Britishsecond feature[2]thriller film directed and written byLawrence Huntington and starringJohn Bentley,Martin Benson andPhilip Friend.[3]
A man wearing a fur-collared coat is shot on his arrival in Paris. A British journalist is convinced that he was intended victim, as he also wears a fur-collar, and has made dangerous enemies by anexposé.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A soporific thriller which wearily plods its way to a conventional unconvincing 'surprise' finish. The acting is as half-hearted as the story."[4]
Kine Weekly wrote: "The plot, although somewhat extravagant, is tightly knit, and its characters are sharply drawn. The thrills, leavened by popular romance, spread evenly over its convenient running time, and the settings are colourful. ... The picture briskly moves in an authentic Paris environment and deploys its many characters astutely. John Bentley acquires a convincing American accent as the resourceful Mike, Martin Benson registers as Legrain, Nadja Regin is an attractive Marie, and Philip Friend wins some sympathy as the weak Eddie.[5]
