Never Let Go (Guillermin, 1960): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 12.20pm
The screening of Never Let Go on Friday 29 May will be introduced by season curator Ehsan Khoshbakt. This is part of the excellent British Post-War Cinema season at BFI. Details here.
BFI introduction:
This first-class thriller follows a salesman, brilliantly played by
Todd, whose quest to recover his stolen car leads him into the hands of a
brutal London gang, led by a cast-against-type Sellers. Guillermin’s
brassy precision, revealing his fascination with characters driven by
obsession and psychopathy, is heightened by John Barry’s score and Ralph
Sheldon’s fast, riotous editing.
Here (and above) is an extract.
