John Cummings, an unsuccessful London cosmetics salesman, has his unpaid-for car stolen by a hood in the employ of Lionel Meadows, sadistic organiser of a car conversion racket.

Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Pinewood Studios

Never Let Go is a 1960 British thriller film directed by John Guillermin and starring Richard Todd, Peter Sellers and Elizabeth Sellars. It was written by Alun Falconer. The film follows John Cummings, a man who attempts to recover his stolen car.

Production

The idea for the film began when director John Guillermin had his car stolen. He mentioned it to the producer, Peter de Sarigny, and they discussed what would happen if your livelihood was completely dependent on a car that had been stolen. They developed a story outline which they gave to writer Alun Falconer to turn into a script.

Filming began November 1959 with shooting on location in London and studio work at Beaconsfield. Much of the action takes place in the largely redeveloped Chichester Place, Paddington. Carol White said that during filming she had affairs with Adam Faith, Todd and Peter Sellers.
