Solo for Sparrow is a 1962 British second feature ('B')[2] crime film directed by Gordon Flemyng and starring Glyn Houston, Anthony Newlands and Nadja Regin, with Michael Caine in an early supporting role.[3][4] It was written by Roger Marshall based on the 1928 Edgar Wallace novel The Gunner, and produced by Jack Greenwood and Abhinandan Nikhanj as part of the Edgar Wallace Mysteries series.[5]
The film was released in America in 1966, when the producers capitalised on Caine's new-found fame and released it with his name above the title.[6]
