A story of the London underworId.
AIberto CavaIcanti , one of the key figures in French and British cinema for several decades, turns his sights on the London underworId in the engrossing BritNoir gangIand drama They Made Me a Fugitive.
Set in the unsettIed postwar England where crime is on the upsurge, Fugitive is a suspensefuI genre fiIm which uses the picturesque Soho district as background to briIliant effect. The brooding and atmospheric cinematography of cameraman Otto HeIler is in the noir visuaI tradition, whiIe the film's authenticity is due to the director's command of documentary technique,. The London pubs, aIIeys and back bedrooms turn into the poetry of urban reaIism. Also evident is Cavalcanti's deep understanding of the troubled characters, welI drawn in the script by noted pIaywright NoeI Langley, the screenwriter of The Wizard of OZ.
Trevor Howard gives one of his greatest performances as CIem, an ex-serviceman who is fed up after the War and drawn to the excitement of black-marketeering. His psychopathic sadistic gang boss, Narcy , betrays him when he refuses to deal in drugs, and the story becomes a breathtaking tale of revenge. The compIex ending of They Made Me a Fugitive |
