Tomorrow At Ten is a gripping British crime thriller from 1963. Directed by Lance Comfort, the film is a tense and ominous drama that follows the story of a young boy who has been kidnapped by a mysterious man who demands a large sum of money from his father in exchange for the boy's safety. The movie opens with a shot of a boy playing in a park, followed by a shot of a man watching him from a car. It quickly becomes apparent that the boy is the son of a wealthy businessman named John Warwick (played by Robert Shaw), and that the man in the car is his kidnapper. The kidnapper, who goes by the name of "Smith", contacts John Warwick and demands a ransom of £50,000 in exchange for his son's safe return.

Enter Detective Inspector Bill "Rusty" Ruston (played by John Gregson), a veteran police officer tasked with investigating the case. Ruston is a determined and resourceful detective, but he has his work cut out for him. The kidnapper is as cunning as he is ruthless, and he has left few clues for Ruston to follow. What's more, the clock is ticking, and every passing moment brings Warwick's son closer to danger.

As Ruston begins his investigation, he discovers that there is more to the kidnapping than meets the eye. In particular, he becomes suspicious of Warwick's best friend, a man named Harry Dale (played by Alec Clunes), who seems to know more about the case than he is letting on. Ruston's suspicions deepen when he discovers that Dale is involved in a stock market scam, and that Warwick himself is suspected of financial impropriety.

Meanwhile, Warwick is struggling to gather the £50,000 ransom that Smith has demanded. He has to liquidate some of his assets and put up properties as collateral, and even then, he is not sure if he will be able to come up with the full amount in time. Smith grows increasingly impatient and sends Warwick a series of increasingly ominous messages, warning him of the consequences of failure.

As the deadline approaches, Ruston races against time to solve the case and find Warwick's son before it's too late. He uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that spans the higher echelons of British society, and he realizes that the kidnapping is part of a much larger plot that threatens the stability of the entire country.

Tomorrow At Ten is a gripping crime thriller that is superbly acted and tightly plotted. It keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat throughout, with plenty of twists and turns that will keep them guessing until the very end. The film's black-and-white cinematography adds to its tense and foreboding atmosphere, while the excellent performances by Gregson, Shaw, and Clunes make for a memorable viewing experience.

Overall, Tomorrow At Ten is a must-see for fans of British crime dramas and anyone looking for a well-made and thrilling movie. It is a classic of the genre and a testament to the quality of British filmmaking in the 1960s.
