Interesting facts
Never Look Back is a 1952 British second feature ('B') drama film directed by Francis Searle and starring Rosamund John, Hugh Sinclair and Guy Middleton. The screenplay concerns a newly appointed female barrister whose career is threatened by a former lover. It was made by Hammer Films at the Mancunian Studios in Manchester. This was Michael Carreras' first film as a producer, and he brought the film in right on schedule. Filming began Sept. 17, 1951, and it was trade shown at the Rialto on March 19, 1952. It opened at the Odeon on May 26, and did rather poorly, mainly due to the film's lack of recognizable name actors.
