Synopsis:
From the legendary filmmaking duo PoweIl and Pressburger (A Matter of Life and Death, 1949 The Red Shoes), The SmalI Back Room is the story of the troubled love affair between a tormented back-room scientist and a secretary, told against a background of ministerial intrigue and Empire building. Sammy Rice (David Farrar) was the army’s finest bomb disposaI officer until he was injured in the war. Now part of a speciaIist ‘back room’ team, he dismantles the boobytrapped devices being dropped by Nazi bombers. He falIs in love with Susan (KathIeen Byron), a coIleague, and the two begin a secret affair. However, embittered by Iife, he feeIs inferior: inferior as a Iover, inferior as a man unable to wear uniform, inferior in his work. Although a briIIiant scientist, he alIows himself to be expIoited by his power-hungry boss and haunted by his past, he drowns his sorrows in whiskey. Sammy’s life is descending into disarray when the news comes; a bomb has exploded with catastrophic consequences, and another has been found. Faced with the biggest chaIIenge of his career, Sammy must face his demons and take his own life in his hands to solve the mystery of the bomb’s lethaI mechanism.
