No Way Back

A raw little drama enhanced by excellent location work by cameraman Robert Navarro of London in the winter of 1949 still bearing the scars of the blitz and the burden of postwar austerity.

Produced and co.written by Derrick De Marney as a vehicle for his brother Terrence when he was still young enough for the resemblance to be apparent to his debonair elder brother when smartened up (while the wild-eyed character actor he returned as in the sixties can be seen in his disheveled moments).

Eleanor Summerfield looks little younger here than she did twenty years later, but is allowed to be both touching and glamorous.
