In what was only Barry’s second film, Never Let Go’s brassy, swinging score made it a musical twin to the better-known Beat Girl. This terrific, hard-edged crime drama is largely set in a now-vanished district of West London. It sees Peter Sellers running a car racket, Adam Faith as his car-stealing accomplice, Carol White as his teenage moll and a sweaty, hapless Richard Todd as his unfortunate victim.
