I'm a huge Trevor Howard fan. I don't think he gets enough recognition.
I have never seen this film and love it. I suspect it was the inspiration for 39 steps by Betty Box a few years later.
Good movie! Thank you ?
Superb storyline, and an excellent production.
DIGGER on the side of the truck @ 2:37 speaks volume in regards what sort of man the movie is really about.
Jean Simmons was the most beautiful woman who has ever lived.
Great movie with awesome location scenes. Thanks for uploading.
Great movie-thank you
