    Tight Thriller UK-Style - Hunted

    There is a very perceptible difference between Hollywood productions and British filmmaking. Hollywood would have over-dramatized this film. "Big" stars would have been included. The production values would have been pristine, first-rate and in color. And the end result would have been considerably less than that which was produced by British filmmaking. Dick Bogarde was just as good as any 50s Hollywood male star. The child star, Jon Whitely, was exceptional, and some spoiled LA brat could not have done half as well. A film about a murderer trying to escape can be gripping. And a film about a mistreated boy who runs away from home can be very engaging as well. But if you combine those two elements, you have a classic, and this is it.

    Beautiful by all means

    Right from the start this movie settles its direction straight: A bleak and almost unbearable ambiance surrounds Rob and Chris. They both got nothing to lose and so this unequal pair is ready to be on the run. Every scene is beautifully shot and the actors are really going through the motions. The greatest thing about this movie are teaches of the heart. The "bad" killer is a soft and caring guy whose life as a poor sailor dragged him into this mess.

    Think about which society you're living in and why people sometimes do what they have to do...

    Outstanding movie by all means!

    a gem in black and white

    The name of the English director Charles Crichton is almost automatically associated by many with 'A Fish Called Wanda', the sparkling comedy from 1988. However, that was practically the last fiction film made by the director who was then 78 years old and was at the end of a career in who had directed more than 50 films in various genres from comedies to thrillers and had also put his name on some memorable creations of British television, including episodes of the cult series 'The Avengers' in the 60s. 36 years before this latest success, Crichton had directed a gem of a black-and-white film called 'Hunted' starring Dirk Bogarde, one of his favorite actors, alongside a six-and-a-half-year-old blond boy who filled the screen, like any child actor of great talent. In one hour and 20 minutes, Crichton has created a believable and humane story and captured, better than any documentary of the era, the image of an England struggling to recover from the destruction and human trauma of war.

    Alfred Hitchcock emerged in the English film school, but had crossed the ocean over a decade before 1952. I think that he appreciated and would have signed the first few minutes of 'Hunted' without hesitation. It's an exceptional introduction. A boy of about six runs through the streets of London with a teddy bear in his hand. He carelessly crosses the street and is almost run over by a carriage pulled by two stallions. He continues to run and takes refuge in a building in ruins. There he comes across a man smoking a cigarette next to a corpse. We understand that he had just killed another man. The child freezes and drops the toy from his hands. The man takes his hand and the two leave together - the killer and the only witness to the crime.

    Chris, the murderous man, had as motive for his crime the infidelity of his wife, who had taken advantage of the long absences due to his profession as a sailor to cheat on him. Robbie, the little boy, had good reasons to run away from home where he was being abused by his adoptive parents. The dependence between the two turns into a relationship of friendship and mutual support. They are fugitives and cross England from south to north, reaching the sea that may open the gate of salvation for them. All is shot with documentary simplicity and authenticity by Eric Cross, one of the best-known and most prolific cinematographers of English pre- and post-WWII films. Italian neorealism is not far away. Jon Whiteley is amazing as the little boy. Child actors usually charm and conquer through naturalness and sincerity, in his case an extraordinary expressiveness is added. Chris and Robbie's relationship never descends into melodrama. 'Hunted' is a simple and moving film, a beautiful combination of film noir and road movie, a gem in black and white.

    Very touching

    A hardened criminal gets back in touch with his humanity after caring for a vulnerable boy while both are on the run.

    If you didn't love Dirk Bogarde before seeing this film, you will after.

    The granddaddy of "a perfect world"...

    ....and "Gloria" (1980) and "Leon" as well...Charles Crichton,whose career spans the second half of the century ("a fish named Wanda"!),is definitely a director to upgrade.

    "Hunted" is a small gem ,a suspenseful sensitive story which casts Bogarde as an unlucky murderer on the lam and young John Whiteley as a moving kid.A road movie,from the bleak city to the wild moors of Scotland ,where a special chemistry between the man and the boy literally grows on the audience .

    Spoilers.Spoilers. Like all the great storytellers ,Crichton introduces first Bogarde as the "villain " who abducts a cute brat.But further acquaintance shows this:actually both of them are victims of a society that increases the prestige of money ,of Bogarde's boss who sleeps with his wife ,a society that does not care a little bit about its orphans whom it leaves to hateful "parents" .The boy really acts as if he's got nothing to lose.

    Admirable sequence :In a bedroom they share for one night,Bogarde begins a bedtime story for his protégé:it's a fairy tale ,a story of a giant.But little by little ,the story becomes HIS own story :what a smart way of letting us know about the hero's past!During this sequence ,which takes place halfway through the film,we see the boy SMILE for the first time.His face is so beaming we are on the verge of tears .He will laugh later ,in his pal's mean brother's house ,during the meal.When Bogarde sails away with his "hostage" ,he makes the story he told come true . End of spoilers .end of spoilers

    Bogarde's rendering is a real tour de force and many consider this part

    his first important one:tense,distraught,anguished,he runs the whole gamut of emotions.Matching him every step of the way is Whiteley's performance :in the three examples I mention at the beginning of my comment ,which I admire (with the exception of Besson's) ,the young actors cannot hold a candle to him.Instant karma:he won a special AA the following year,and was given the main part in Lang's "Moonfleet" in 1954.He was to meet again Bogarde in "Spanish gardener".

    Crichton had often been labeled "for the whole family".But they totally missed the point:"hunted" is not a rosy work,its open ending does not settle the things ,but increases our fear of what will become of our two so endearing heroes.His directing is now nervous -the first sequences when the heroes do not stop running -,now intimate -all the scenes where the two characters hang on to each other,now poetic -the seagulls which accompany the triumphant voyage .A wonderful use of nature (not unlike Charles Laughton's "the night of the hunter") and its wildlife where the runaways take refuge.

    Wonderful movie.
