It is not a terrible film but the director, Cavalcanti is much happier on anything less nasty. With his, Went the Day Well? (1942) he is much more satisfactory and also with Dead of Night (1945) and really with documentary. Trevor Howard is not made for the tough stuff although was good enough in The Third Man (1946). He does well enough as the fugitive but is not thrilling in the role and but maybe is better suited in romance. It is also a shame that there it is really everything that could have been done in the studio.
