directed by Daniel Birt
UK 1952
The cafes and artists' studios of bohemian Chelsea provide the
setting for this tightly plotted early-fifties Brit Noir thriller. Starring
B-movie favourite Hy Hazell, noted character actor John Bailey and Ballard
Berkely Fawlty Towers' much-loved Major Gowen in the type of detective role for
which he was best known during his earlier career, The Night Won't Talk
is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its
original theatrical aspect ratio. |

The Night Won't Talk is another in the vein of Brit crime/thriller/cum-Noir. There is enough evidence to make a case for the latter, but it would generally be considered a 'B' thriller. It's low-budget but rather appealing with convincing performances. I enjoyed it - very competent murder mystery - enough enjoyment to re-watch one day. Another competent and watchable, single-layered SD PAL transfer from Network out of the UK. The film is surprisingly strong. Visuals are at Network's decent high level - clean, crisp, good contrast - and a high-ish bitrate for the format. There are no subtitles on the region 2 disc. Extras include an image gallery and a promotional material PDF at the root of the SD disc. The film has some definite merit. Worth a spin, or more. Recommended to fans of the genre. - Gary Tooze |
