Comments on: Tise Vahimagi on the Post-War British Caper Film. http://mysteryfile.com/blog/?p=664 Devoted to mystery and detective fiction -- the books, the films, the authors, and those who read, watch, collect and make annotated lists of them.

I was thinking also of <strong><em>They Made a Fugitive</em></strong>, but I've never seen it, so I thought I should check about it before saying anything about it in public. In terms of more general British film noir, J. Lee Thompson's film with Diana Dors, called <strong><em>Yield to the Night</em></strong> (1956), should also probably be mentioned. Thompson went on to Hollywood and did the superb <strong><em>Cape Fear</em></strong> with Mitchum -- and then he went down to do mostly crap. Thanks for this, Tise and Steve!
