About The Man Who Wouldn't Talk
American scientist Dr. Frank Smith is brought to Britain to help the C.I.A. There is a defecting East block scientist they want him to debrief. The commies are less than amused and set Dr. Smith up for a murder.
Directed by Herbert Wilcox, The Man Who Wouldn't Talk leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Neagle, Anthony Quayle, Zsa Zsa Gabor — 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 1958.
