Nowhere to Go

Directed by Seth Holt, 1958. This austere thriller is a cinematic tour de force, as chillingly detached as its antihero, an escaped convict pursuing stolen loot in a safety deposit box. Co-written by famous critic Kenneth Tynan, the film also features Maggie Smith in her feature debut. Part of the series Great Expectations: British Postwar Cinema, 1945 – 1960. Screening on film.
