Seven Days to Noon (1950)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 94m
Director: John Boulting, Roy Boulting
Cast: Barry Jones, Olive Sloane, André Morell
Synopsis:
A scientist holds London to ransom with a dirty bomb, and Scotland Yard has only a week to find it.
Review:
Splendidly made suspenser, made more problematic by the madman's motives: an end to the development of nuclear weapons. No one is so cynical as to point out that any government's promise to end such research would not be worth the paper it was written on, but this is quality British film-making entering its sixth decade on a high.
