Watch The Unstoppable Man

(1960) Cameron Mitchell, Marious Goring, Harry Corbett, Lois Maxwell, Denis Gilmore. An underrated British thriller. Mitchell is a rich businessman whose son is kidnapped. Naturally, there's a huge ransom demand, but Scotland Yard tells Mitchell to butt out. Mitchell has other ideas and--rather forcefully at times--takes matters into his own hands, much to the chagrin of the police. There's a bit of science fiction at the film's cool climax as Mitchell defends himself from the bad guys with a futuristic, hand-held flame projector. Maxwell, in her pre-James Bond days, is quite attractive and has a small but important role at the beginning of the film. Recommended. 35mm.
