Both versions were called Assassin for Hire, and both cast the same actor in the lead role of Antonio Riccardi. But it so happened that Tony had a young brother, Seppi, whom he intended to turn into a violinist in the Menuhin class. A nice lad Seppi, even though he did turn out to be Tony's Achilles' heel.

Nativo da Natividade, a well-known union leader from the Center-West of Brazil (who was originally a rural worker), he was one of the 492 people who were killed by the notorious Brazilian hitman Julio Santana. What this potboiler had going for it was some nice B&W shots of the dark streets of London and through Sydney Tafler’s melodramatic performance, it showed how a killer can be cold-blooded while taking care of business and yet be a devoted family man. Even though Tony’s love was misguided, the killer shows he can be human. The “B” film had good production values and a satisfying but improbable story to tell. The radio play followed the same plot as its predecessors. A contemporary reviewer summarises the plot as follows: The television film Assassin for Hire was screened by the BBC in September 1950 with Sidney Tafler in the lead.

The inspector gets his chance to follow his philosophy when a Mr.Tyler is murdered outside a cafe wearing a camel’s hair overcoat. The bullet comes from the same gun used in the other assassinations, which leads the inspector to believe that it is Tony who did the hit. As a coincidence, Guiseppi is in the cafe wearing the same kind of coat and is drunk because he is upset that his brother has arranged for a concert in a prominent recital hall even though he is not ready to perform at that level.
