Tread Softly Stranger is engaging and enjoyable, though much of it surface level.
Dave's pretty much one note, the same with Calico, not to say that they're bad. The film's qualities lie with the plot, atmosphere, Diana Dors' beauty and Johnny who's terrific, played by George Baker. However Johnny's actions on arrival are despicable, encroaching on his brother's girl. It's quite predictable that the old man will be blind, but I like Johnny's reaction. Paddy Ryan's a decent secondary character also. The thugs at the race track saw Johnny collecting money, odd they didn't take it.. feels like I missed something there.
