The Small Voice
The Small Voice (US title: The Hideout) is a 1948 British thriller film directed by Fergus McDonell and starring Valerie Hobson, James Donald and Howard Keel (credited as Harold Keel). The film is part of a group of British film noir produced around this time. It was written by George Barraud, Derek Neame and Julian Orde based on the 1940 novel of the same name by Robert Westerby.
It was the film debut of Howard Keel who made it while appearing in the original London production of Oklahoma!
The film received a BAFTA nomination for Best British Film in 1949.
The "small voice" of the title is referred to at the end of the film: the small voice in your own head, of one's conscience telling one not to do something.
Three ex-army men escape from Dartmoor Prison and kill a man to get his car. Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Byrne bicker on a train and discuss divorce before arriving at Llanbach in Wales, near their home. He has lost a leg in the war, and is very bitter. As a result they have drifted apart. He is now a playwright, and she is a stage actress.
As they drive along a country road at night they are stopped at a road block by police, who are looking for the three escaped convicts. Five minutes later the couple spot broken glass and a missing parapet on an awkward bend and Mr Byrne goes to investigate. A man comes up the dark embankment and says there is another man in the car. The couple take them to their house, which is only a mile away, intending to phone for medical assistance.
They treat the injured man in the kitchen but the first man disappears and steals their car. They are immediately suspicious and the injured man pulls a gun.
Back at the crash scene the first convict locates the third man and it is revealed that they hit another car. They search and find the car. The chauffeur is dead but two children are cowering in the back seat. They take the children back to the house.
