Curiosità
Impulse is a 1954 British second feature film noir directed by Cy Endfield and starring Arthur Kennedy, Constance Smith and Joy Shelton. It was written by Endfield and Lawrence Huntington from an original story by Carl Nystrom and Robert S. Baker.
Production
The film was shot at Nettlefold Studios, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, with sets designed by art director Wilfred Arnold.
Endfield had come to work in Britain to escape the Hollywood blacklist. In order for him to direct, the Association of Cine Technicians (ACT) required that a paid ACT "dummy" director be appointed, to do nothing on set, but to be credited with direction; Endfield chose documentary filmmaker Charles de Lautour, whom he paid £35 a week.
