"On the Night of the Fire, released in the United States as The Fugitive, is a 1939 British thriller film, directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and starring Ralph Richardson and Diana Wynyard. The film is based on the novel of the same name by F. L. Green. It was shot on location in Newcastle upon Tyne and was released shortly after the outbreak of World War II. It is regarded as an early example of British film noir, with the kind of subject matter and filming style which fell completely out of favour during the war years \u2013 when British studios felt that cinemagoers would want either light entertainment and escapism or topical patriotic propaganda pieces \u2013 and would not be taken up again until the later 1940s. Film critic David Quinlan describes the film as \"grim but gripping\". Andrew Spicer, in his book European Film Noir, writes: \"A riveting psychological study. With its sustained doom-laden atmosphere, Krampf\u2019s expressive cinematography, its adroit mixture of location shooting and Gothic compositions and Richardson\u2019s wonderful performance as a lower middle-class Everyman, On the Night of the Fire clearly shows that an achieved mastery of film noir existed in British cinema\"."@en . . . . .
