Synopsis:

James Donald and Valerie Hobson star as a couple whose act of kindness has devastating consequences, while a young Howard Keel (billed as "Harold Keel") makes his film debut as the desperate fugitive who terrorises them in this brilliantly claustrophobic post-war thriller. Keel's astonishing performance brought him to the attention of MGM and paved the way to Hollywood success, and the film earned a BAFTA nomination for Best British Film. Released in the U.S. as The Hideout, The Small Voice is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. Whilst driving to their house in the Welsh hills, Murray Byrne and his wife Eleanor come across a crashed car, and take the occupants home with them for medical care. Then they discover that the men are armed. No one is allowed to leave the house, and the Byrnes' movements are now closely watched by their captors...

The British writer Murray Byrne and his wife Eleanor stop to help two men in a car crash only to find they are criminals on the run. These criminals, the desperate Boke and his fellow fugitive Jim, hold Murray and Eleanor hostage in their country cottage.

A husband and wife stop to help two men in a car crash only to find they are criminals on the run.
