Reviews

Leofwine_draca ON THE RUN is another of the 'Edgar Wallace Theatre' B-movies made in Britain in the early 1960s. These were second-rate features that lasted an hour each, and unfortunately 'second rate' is how I'd class this. The film has a surfeit of plotting that makes it a murky and confused watch, with myriad characters serving as little addition to the story. The pace is spot on and the story interesting enough, about escaped convicts being hunted by fellow members of a criminal gang, but the dialogue feels stodgy and full of exposition rather than true to life. There's fun to be had from spotting famous faces in support (Patrick Barr, Brian Wilde, and Katy Wild all show up) but it's not enough.

GUENOT PHILIPPE I am very pleased to have all these Edgard Wallace Mystery episodes, or are they really TV stuff? Anyway, they are very surprising about suspense, they provide good stories to the audiences, topics that are nearly equal to major productions. This one is no exception. It is thrilling, exciting, the tale of an ex con who escapes from jail to clear himself about a robbery charge. A very effective yarn from UK, far more interesting than many US films of the same period. The climax in the sewers of London is unexpected and so good to watch. The score is typical to British features of this time. I could recognize this kind of music among thousand of others themes.
