(U.S. Title: I Became a Criminal.) "Made in the peak year of film noir (both here and in England), They Made Me a Fugitive is one of the two or three definitive British noirs. Dealing with the postwar unemployed drifting into crime, it has mild affinities with the American gangster films such as The Roaring Twenties, and is the most violent extreme and most Germanically stylized of all the British entries. Most of it is studio-bound in a London that owes more to its art director than to reality." William K. Everson
