1973 film by Claude Pinoteau
Escape to Nowhere (French: Le Silencieux, lit. ‘The Silent One’, also known as The Great Manhunt) is a 1973 Franco-Italian drama thriller film directed by Claude Pinoteau, and starring Lino Ventura.[1][2] It is an adaptation of the novel Drôle de pistolet by Francis Ryck (1969).[3]
When a Soviet scientific delegation arrives in London, the British secret services kidnap one of its members and pass him off as dead. He is in fact a French scientist, Clément Tibère, kidnapped by the KGB sixteen years earlier. Refusing to collaborate at first for fear of pressure and death threats, Tibère ends up agreeing to denounce the corrupt English scientists participating in the delegation. The British then release him under a new identity. But, immediately, the KGB hunts him down. He then tries to return to France and find a way to escape the manhunt.
British rock singer Jenny Darren recorded the song How Soon Hello Becomes Goodbye, an instrumental version of which is featured in the film. The recording was released by Decca Records as the B-side to Darren’s version of Phil Spector’s hit “Be My Baby”. The single, which was produced and arranged by pianist Mike Moran (a collaborator of Lynsey de Paul), was released in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom. The song was written by J. Datin, A. Goraguer and B. Mason. Later, in 1977, Darren collaborated with AC/DC on the Dirty Deeds tour.
