Colonel Hepburn (Andre Morell) keeps up the pressure as he waits for Fordyce (Peter Cushing) to open the bank vault in Cash on Demand.

Peter Cushing was grateful for the break from horror movies, telling interviewer Patricia Lewis, “I was sort of carried along with the cycle. It was wonderful to work steadily on from one film to the next, but then a few weeks ago, I realized that most were X certificate.” He described Fordyce as “a martinet, a man who lacks charity and warmth. In his office, as a manager of a bank, he is stern, forbidding. He derives satisfaction from holding the threat of dismissal over his staff. This, then, is the man who suddenly finds himself the center of a drama that rocks him to the core and alters his life.” The role was one of Cushing’s best, and he is alternatingly hateful, pathetic, admirable, and funny. Andre Morell is at least his equal, and they combined to give the two best performances in any one Hammer film.
