About The Man Who Wouldn't Talk
A man involved in a crime (Nolan) kills his key witness by mistake and resigns himself to death. He changes his name so as not to harm his family. The law is not content with his explanation, however.
Directed by David Burton, The Man Who Wouldn't Talk leans on a strong ensemble — Lloyd Nolan, Jean Rogers, Richard Clarke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1940.
