      Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A powerful ‘home’ drama which addresses a number of prejudices and post-war sentiments Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Josephine O'Neill Daily Telegraph (Australia) Basil Dearden's plain, modulated direction, which leaves a doubt even in the happy ending... is exactly right for such a story. Apr 11, 2019 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin This is a realistic, tense and well-acted film. Its approach is intelligent and straightforward and the direction is sensitive.

      Audience Member Good film this. Made just after WW2 it does have some images of POW camps which are horrific, and the storyline of a British POW escapee coming home with his german bride gives it a very challenging storyline too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
