Bond of Fear is a 1956 British 'B'[1] crime drama film directed by Henry Cass and starring Dermot Walsh, Jane Barrett, and John Colicos.[2] [3] [4] The screenplay was by John Gilling and Norman Hudis.
John Sewell and his family are taken hostage by desperate fugitive Dewar who is a stowaway in their caravan.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A modest, competently made thriller which extracts a fair amount of suspense from its central situation and adds some conventional touches of policeman comedy. The playing is sound, with John Colicos making an effective villain."[5]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Repetitive drama just about passes the time."[6]
Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film called the film a "moderately inventive thriller."
