Track the Man Down 1955

Track the Man Down is a 1955 British drama film directed by R. G. Springsteen, and starring Kent Taylor, Petula Clark, and George Rose.

The melodramatic crime caper centers on a robbery at a greyhound racetrack that results in the unintentional murder of a guard. The perpetrator leaves the loot with his girl friend, commandeers a motorcoach bound for Southampton, and holds hostage its diverse array of passengers, including an American newspaper reporter and the girl friend's resourceful sister.

The film, the second made by Republic Pictures' British production company, makes good use of London's Victoria Station and locations along the banks of the River Thames. It was made at Walton Studios with sets designed by the art director John Stoll.

Smiling Sam with a face as long as a gas man's mac & a bookies runner with a limp, the director had a sense of humour then.

Hard to believe George Rose was English, born in Oxfordshire. He looks and sounds completely American in this film. Even his crinkly Jewish hair looks American!
