Plot

Joe, a US army officer, is on the run after committing murder. He invades the home of the widowed Peggy, and orders her son Tommy at gunpoint to guide him through the backwaters of the English countryside to safety. But he reckons without U.S. army Captain Mather, who is in love with Tommy's mother.

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Although this highly concentrated, small budget thriller is weak in dialogue and over-generous in dramatic licence, it is convincingly enough acted, particularly by Richard Williams as the boy. When the search gets under way and dialogue is at a minimum, Max Varnel's direction becomes more forceful and the tension of the last scenes is quite effectively held."[4]

TV Guide called it a "routine crime melodrama".[5]

AllMovie thought the film had "elements in common with the much-later Kevin Costner vehicle A Perfect World [1993]".[6]
