seven days to noon (1950)

"I think he's lost faith. I think he lost all the faith in the value of his work."
An amiable nuclear scientist, Professor Willingdon (Barry Jones) comes to the conclusion that his work could potential do more harm than good. He sets out to convince the world that they should abandon such work permanently the only way he thinks will work, by threatening to blow up central London if the government does not comply within seven days. The hunt is on to find Willingdon before he enacts his plan.
A fine suspense thriller, due to it's believability and the use of a psudeo documentary style concentrating on the human elements, with great character studies by Jones and the few people he comes into contact with as he hides out in London.
