Dir: Seth Holt
Starring: George Nader and Maggie Smith
Shunned by the criminal underworld, an escaped prisoner finds that his attempts to recover his stashed loot end in failure
This crime drama has some good railway scenes in the film that largely consist of some atmospheric night shots filmed on the disused platforms of Kew Bridge station. The platforms are on the curve between New Kew Junction and Kew East Junction and were closed in 1940 though the station remains open with platforms on the Hounslow Loop. The derelict platforms seen in this film are still extant today. Later, there is a departure scene filmed at London Marylebone station with what looks to be an ex-LNER 4-6-0 lurking amongst the shadows and the coaching stock.
