That's "Gangster No.1", where he plays a London mobster with a penchant for
protracted grisly killings involving hammers, chisels etc. Malcolm McDowell
plays the same character in later life. Good film- given the recent fad for
Brit gangster movies it was surprisingly underrated/unsuccessful, perhaps
because the lead character is just too psychopathic to be presented as a
loveable diamond geezer who also happens to torture and murder the odd
person now and then.
