Never Let Go
Peter Sellers in a new and exciting role!
Directed by John Guillermin
Produced by Independent Artists
A British noir thriller about an ordinary man drawn into criminal underworld violence after a car theft, marked by mounting tension and moral compromise.
John Cummings, an unsuccessful London cosmetics salesman, has his unpaid-for car stolen by a hood in the employ of Lionel Meadows, sadistic organiser of a car conversion racket. As the vehicle is uninsured, and since the police seem indifferent, Cummings decides to find it himself — and gets himself involved in an underworld battle.
