5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, gritty, great!, 16 Mar 2004
By Mr. Graham R. Dudley "graham1382" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whenever I see a film with John Mills, my attention is immediately aroused. Quite rightly so, with this fine example of acting and story.

John Mills plays the lead figure; a man whose life was virtually destroyed, by a tragic accident. He eventually moves on and into a quiet, very private life, able to reflect and rebuild the shattered pieces of his existence.

Circumstances could not have been worse for him, when he finds himself lodging with gossips, judgemental fools and a ruthless and cunning murderer, who sees his opportunity to commit the most evil crime and ensure the blame is cast on someone least able to defend himself.

However, John Mills masterfully plays the part of a man who is not about to give in and, in the ensuing chase, he shows how worthy it was that he should take the lead, as he convincingly portrays determination, grit and quick thinking.

Yet another excellent item for my collection; I am certainly not disappointed and anticipate watching this film regularly!

5.0 out of 5 stars chilling and dated, 23 Sep 2007
This is one of those reassuring post-war films that was probably designed to deal with the mental scars that existed amongst those returning from war.

The story itself centres on a man who blames himself for a death in a road accident. The script is believable and nicely paced; the characters are likeable; the photography is brilliantly moody and atmospheric.

John Mills convincingly plays the man on the edge of a nervous breakdown, and the underlying tone is homely and optimistic.
