Nowhere To Go is an unusual British film where the star of the show is actually a smooth but uncompromising villain. He is a convicted housebreaker and embezzler who has escaped from prison and is played by George Nader. The reason why the studio chose an American actor was possibly to appeal to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
It was nice to see Britain's very own Maggie Smith looking delightful in one of her earlier films. She plays a woman that tries to help George Nader escape from both the villains and the police.
Steptoe and Son fans, after some "wondering-where-have-I heard-that-voice-before", will also recognise Harry H. Corbett playing the part of a shrewd and unfriendly London mob boss, who does not like other criminals operating on his "patch".
Bessie Love, a fine actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood, also had a small part at the beginning of the film, playing a rich, aristocratic American widow living in Britain, who succumbs to the nefarious and disguised charms of the hero - sorry - villain, played by George Nader.
The ending seemed to leave audience to their own imagination. I suppose "Crime Does Not Pay" always has to be the message.
The story revolves around a Canadian conman played by George Nader who reminds me for football fans as a Luis Figo lookalike. Good performances by Maggie Smith, making her film debut I think and Bernard Lee although I never thought of him as a violent type. A small part from the usual wooden Harry H Corbett too.
It kept my attention all the way through which is a fair achievement although as I mentioned previously it is a little predictable and has a few far fetched moments. Nevertheless a great watch.
One observation I made was how much our road system has improved since this film was made. When our main characters leave for Wales at the end Maggie tells George it will be an 8 hour journey, I can do in just over 2 if I put my foot down.
Still, it's fun to see Maggie Smith, in her first movie, effectively playing a sexy yet vulnerable gal. And George Nader, who should have had a bigger career (homophobia, perhaps?), is quite good as a doomed man on the run. I also liked director Seth Holt's handling of tone, action and, with exception of act one, pacing. Once we emerge from the long back story, the film finds its footing and moves at a good clip. Give it a B.
PS...Considering that the screenplay was co written by one of England's more pompous theatre critics, it's surprisingly unpretentious.
