MAN ON THE RUN is a British spin on the popular 'wronged man' premise, a little more genteel and laid back than most. Derek Farr essays the role of an army deserter now living a quiet life, who is visited by old army chum Kenneth Moore in a small exposition role. Soon after he finds himself caught up in a violent robbery in one of those densely-written dilemma stories with a good hook. It's all a little Hitchcockian, although never particularly suspenseful; as is the case with many films of this era, a decent cast (including Laurence Harvey) elevates the material somewhat.
