Projecting the Archive: Nowhere to Go (U)
Dir: Seth Holt
Cast: George Nader, Maggie Smith 87 mins, 1958, UK
Please note: this was screened in Sept 2010
The pessimism of film noir never had much appeal for Ealing Studios, so this late entry, penned by director Seth Holt and critic Ken Tynan, is all the more welcome. A good-looking ex-con (George Nader) coolly robs an old lady of her coin collection, anticipating prison, but also the later recovery of the proceeds. Nothing proves that simple and he lives to discover the truth of the film's title. Fine photography from Paul Beeson, a jazz score by Dizzy Reece, and Maggie Smith's debut performance all add to the pleasure.
