    Plodding Thriller

    Two mismatched American actors are parachuted into this disappointing thriller set in Liverpool.When this was made Johnson was on the way down and aged 43.He has absolutely no chemistry with his co star,Vera Miles,about to find fame in Psycho.The plot is familiar but leaves some unresolved questions.Why was the distinguished barrister so unhelpful,and why did the police do their best to prevent Johnson uncovering the truth.They were threatening him with deportation yet since he was born in the UK,he would have had every right to remain for as long as he liked.There are some very good shots of Liverpool as it was in the fifties and in particular of the docks,now an area full of excellent museums.Bernard Lee in a small part acts everyone off the screen.The ending is predictable

    "M" Wrongly Accused of Murder

    Polite note to user Robert J Maxwell of New Mexico.No sir, Bernard Lee was not "Q" but "M" from the first Bond film "Dr No" of 1962."Q" was played by Welsh actor Desmond Llewlynn.Now that's cleared up, I too received this DVD from an internet site I recently discovered and which I can heartily recommend: "myrarefilms.co.uk".

    During the film I was mentally running through the mathematics of the age of Van Johnson's character.In the segment set during the Liverpool blitz of 1941 he was 10 years old.Move forward to 1959 (after he had been shipped off to the States to explain his American accent) which is 18 years later (the date of this film) and he would therefore be 28.There is no way Van Johnson looked this age, at best more like 35.Maybe his character aged prematurely!That said this is a good suspense film that keeps you guessing until segment 20/20 when the real murderer is revealed and I rated it worthy of 7/10.

    Plod, Then Leap: No Way To Make A Good Movie

    Van Johnson was evacuated from Liverpool to the United States during the Second World War. His mother died young and he is working his way around the world before he settles down to a career in electronics. He doesn't know what became of his father, so he makes enquiries. He discovers he has been in prison for sixteen years for strangling a young girl. He investigates and finds cracks in the official story, even as officials make it difficult for him to find out anything.

    Something has gone awry in this production. Van Johnson, at 43, was too old for his role, and the scriptwriters, working from an A.J. Cronin novel, put a lot of English usage in his mouth, instead of American. The pace is erratic, and the subplot involving Vera Miles, with whom he has fallen in love, seems like to be added to the story, without contributing to it.

    That is not to say that there are not some strengths to this move. Bernard Miles, everyone's favorite M from the James Bond series, is brilliant as Johnson's father, brutalized by years of prison. Emlyn Williams is also around, playing a creepy man to perfection. Anthony Newlands as a newspaperman who gets the investigation moving and connects the dots, is a godsend to this movie. It's too bad they can't make this obviously good story into a good movie.

    Intriguing story but not an undiscovered classic IMHO

    During the blitz a boy and his mother are evacuated to America. Returning to Liverpool in 1959, the now-grown boy (Van Johnson) learnes his father was not a war hero but a convicted murderer who is still alive.

    Two American stars (Johnson and Vera Miles) and a passel of familiar British supporting players. An AJ. Cronin novel.

    I wish Hitchcock had done it. But we can't judge a movie by what it isn't, but what it is.

    The movie has lots of British officialdom stonewalling, Van Johnson in constantly angry mode, and no sense of humor. With all the potentially wacky Btitish types what might Sir Alfred . . . Sorry.

    Lots of twists and uncovered secrets, but it all comes off as kind of blah though there is one shocking shot of a road accident.

    A web of troublesome destinies of murder, suicide, corruption, drunks and victims.

    A.J.Cronin has made a great novel out of some very difficult traumas, as an American comes home to Liverpool, where he was born, and finds his father in prison for life. Van Johnson as the son came home just to finally get to know something of what really happened to his father, and he immediately gets immersed in a mess of complications and worries. After recovery from the shock of finding his father having escaped hanging by a hair's breath, he gradually is more certainly convinced that his father was innocent, framed and sacrificed for other people's crimes, but his boat is sailing back to America in four days, and he has to be on it, which the local police superintendent is especially keen to make sure that he is. Naturally he stays to investigate the matter further. Jack Cardiff who directed this complicated film did not direct many films, but he was one of the most important cinematographers off British cinema and was the director of photography for all the major Powell-Pressburger films and also of "The Magic Box" among many others. This is not a film to appeal to the great multitude and make a big box office success, but it falls into a more singular kind of category of "human noirs" like all the early films of John and Roy Boulting. The acting though is superb, and when you see and enjoy Vera Miles as Lena in this very poignant drama you understand why Hitchcock wanted her for "Vertigo". She makes the deepest impression, Van Johnson is himself as usual as the perfect candidate for a tragic character, and as the old tragic lawyer who saved the victim's life from hanging, you find the old veteran Emlyn Williams in a very sensitive role. Bernard Lee as the father who almost gets hanged for nothing also provides perhaps the only shocking role of the film, as you first get to know him playing in the park jovially with his son and then after twenty years in prison, which life has made his character almost completely unrecognisable, - and yet the son finds him again, and this is the golden moment of truth of the book and the film.

      Swann: As soon as he stood up in that court, I knew he meant to hang your father. The words flowed out of his mouth, and cast a spell upon the court. I tell you he was masterly - the jury hung on his every word. He's got a knighthood now.
