Bond of Fear

Bond of Fear is a 1956 British 'B'[1] crime drama film directed by Henry Cass and starring Dermot Walsh, Jane Barrett, and John Colicos.

John Sewell and his family are taken hostage by desperate fugitive Dewar who is a stowaway in their caravan.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A modest, competently made thriller which extracts a fair amount of suspense from its central situation and adds some conventional touches of policeman comedy.

The playing is sound, with John Colicos making an effective villain.

"[5] Kine Weekly wrote: "The film takes a picturesque route and the pleasant backgrounds artfully embroider its thrills, Dermot Walsh does a sound job as the menaced John, Jane Barrett acts with composure as Mary, John Colicos makes a hearty villain as Dewar, and Anthony Pavey and Marilyn Baker are natural as Michael Sr Ann, The police detail is illuminating and gives a realistic touch to salient situations and the tense climax.
