Never Let Go

Never Let Go is a British thriller directed by John Guillermin. The film follows a salesman whose efforts to recover his stolen car draw him into the orbit of a violent London gang led by a deliberately against-type Peter Sellers. Its brisk editing, forceful visual style, and John Barry’s brassy score heighten the tension.

The Harvard Film Archive presents the film as a screening on film, using a 35mm black-and-white print supplied by the British Film Institute.
