Stryker of the Yard


Stryker of the Yard is a 1953 British crime film directed by Arthur Crabtree and starring Clifford Evans, Susan Stephen, Jack Watling and Eliot Makeham.
A second cinema film, Companions in Crime followed in 1954.
In 1957, these films and others aired as a 15-episode British television series of the same name, starring Evans, George Woodbridge, and Tim Turner. The series was also shown on U.S. TV.
A host introduced each episode, and at the end of each story intoned: "And it just goes to show that crime does not pay."
In 1957–1958, the American Broadcasting Company aired the series Scotland Yard, originally made as a series of British theatrical film shorts, hosted by Edgar Lustgarten and starring Russell Napier.
