Influential British critic Kenneth Tynan neglected to review Nowhere to Go--perhaps because he directed it himself. Maggie Smith makes her film debut as an aristocrat whose sheltered existence is shattered by the arrival of George Nader. Nader is a fugitive from justice who can expect no help from his fellow criminals. He takes refuge in Smith's home, entreating her to shield him from the police. She draws closer to Nader after the latter is accidentally shot. Adapted from a novel by Donald McKenzie, Nowhere to Go was not sufficiently successful for Kenneth Tynan to give up his day job. The film's principal asset is the progressive jazz score by Dizzy Reece. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
