Stars Trevor Howard and Jean Simmons. Clearly influenced by early Hitchcock (YOUNG & INNOCENT and 39 STEPS … though no one ever approaches Hitch’s genius, of course). THIS VIDEO IS NOT BEING MONETIZED IN ANY WAY.

Perfect action film with the most beautiful leading lady .

Classic!
I'm surprised we are given a glimpse into the police state we are fast approaching where innocent people are hunted tirelessly by a mob of buffoons whose only superiority is having what weaponry is left and total ignorance of a morality now but already lost to time.
Excellent !!
Maxwell Reed was the first Mr Joan Collins.
Sonia Dresdel was the old bag in The Fallen Idol.
Very good one! Thanks!
Jean Simmons. Ah, what utter perfection?
Terrible movie. Why were her parents killed? Why was Hicks killed? The ending was very lame
What a cracking film,great actors great script .I was born and bred in Liverpool in the forties ,fifties and sixties .Brought memories of a great city .Those old movies are so good because they rely on great actors and film makers and not special effects like modern movies. Thank you so much for the chance to see this cracking British film.
Thank you for uploading this. It was excellent: The Third Man meets Rebecca. And that great beginning. I can't help wondering if John Le Carre watched this when he was 19.
EXCELLENT π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯

A lateral version of the 39 Steps, but with with excellent actors- very enjoyable watch. Thank you.
I am Australian but great grandfather came from this part of England.
Thank you for a decent well-crafted film with excellent acting. Hitchcock is too snobbish and way too corrupting.
Wonderful! Thank you. And the girl is very active too, not like those passive females we had to endure for decades afterwards.
An exceptional film. As suspenseful as Hitchcock in many ways without the pretense of the auteur. Great upload!
Great film
The Clouded Yellow, great film
That was really good, love these older movies you just cant beat them
OUUuuutSTANDING FLICK!! Thanks a million MK P.
Good one. Thank you so much.
Hello from Canada. Thank you!
Fun to watch but when else in history were so many resources sent after one suspect?
That was a great flik. Thanks.
Wow….intense police search……full on π
What a film, great script and great acting. Thank you for uploading I truly enjoyed watching this.
"The Clouded Yellow", 1950. METROpolitan MAFIA Pain/PineWood dashed good yawn, er, YARN. Insult to a street-smart tot's intelligence, half filmed UP t' North but NO Northern accents – DOH! Bring bak WalthamStowAway HollyWeird Hitch, kwote, "That brunette Simmons lil gal shoulda bin a HOT Blonde babe the way to go – I like 'em!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clouded_Yellow
With many films the up loader has to continually find new intriguing ways of supply.
Too think one of the co founders of rock group kiss took his name from MS. Simmons when he came to this country
Superb many thanks
Good film poor ending. Jean Simmons was truly beautiful.
Thanks for uploading this little-known gem, full of British stars. In 1950, Trevor Howard was 37, Jean Simmons 21, a 16-year romantic age gap that would've raised eyebrows in those far-from-permissive days (I can recall!) but Jean was pretty irresistible. The plot is full of massive logic holes, de rigueur in such pursuit thrillers, but those pesky authorities must be given a fighting chance, eh? And it was great fun.
It is called The Clouded Yellow.
Thank you, I spent my New YearΒ΄s 2020 eve watching this excellent movie. The beauty of the young Jean Simmons (1929-2010) is breathtaking. Trevor Howard is gorgeous.
SPLENDID STUFF !
TY for the upload, an excellent thriller, well acted & directed. Great to see a variety of locations including Newcastle, where I lived & worked for many years & also mention of Jesmond, one of the suburbs where I grew up. π
