NOWHERE TO GO is a slow-moving, character-focused slice of British crime that failed to hit the mark with audiences back on release in 1958. It's easy to see why these days: as a character piece there's little incident or action, with the emphasis on long, drawn-out scenes of brooding which aren't very entertaining. I also found George Nader a less-than-sympathetic protagonist, although the supporting cast is more interesting. The story jumps about in time a bit, which can get disorientating, with Nader escaping from prison and interacting with the criminal fraternity. A young Maggie Smith is the glamorous love interest and Bernard Lee plays a great role, but the rest is merely so-so.
