Give Us Tomorrow

Following our earlier releases of his British exploitation classics Some like it Sexy, Escort Girls and The Deadly Females, Nucleus Films now proudly bring you the world premiere DVD release of Donovan Winter's final feature, the 1978 home-invasion thriller Give us Tomorrow.With a cast of experienced British acting talent headed by Sylvia Syms (Asylm, The Tamarind Seed, The Saint) and a captivating performance by Donna Evans (now one of Hollywood's top stunt doubles, but then a promising young heroine) this grimy yet sleek hostage movie is far more than your standard slice of Soho sleaze, and, like The Deadly Females, emphasises the director's gradual move from the tawdry British Sex Film towardssocial comment- with a hefty chunk of suspense thrown in.Shot in the leafy suburban Orpington, the story concerns two less-than-professional criminals, Ron (Derren Nesbitt, The Man in the Back Seat, Where Eagles Dare) and The Boy (Alan Guy) who hold a family prisoner intheir home whilst their colleagues simultaneously raid a local bank managed by the father (James Kerry, Killer's Moon, Blake's 7) Of course, being a British crime film, something has to go wrong, and with one teller (Gene Foad- Dickens Of London) dead, and the aforementioned accomplices having done one with the loot, our haplessduo soon find themselves in a lose-lose situation with half the London Borough Of Bromley constabulary in attendance...Tense and claustrophobic but with a setting straight out of a Thames TV sitcom, Give us Tomorrow was at the time originally withheld for legal reasons (see booklet) from proper distribution or theatrical release. Original VHS releases are extremely scarce: therefore, the arrival of this long-awaited, remastered and uncut disc is cause for celebration among cult collectors everywhere.So sit back, relax and watch, but remember, DON'T answer that unexpected knock at the door!
