In the last episode, we established "12 Angry Men" as a key reference and the initial benchmark for our journey into single-location films. Now, let's rewind a bit more and explore another collection of compelling one-location movies. After carefully reviewing a multitude of films, I've curated a list of around 30 titles. You can find further details in the article linked in the description.

Now, remember when Hitchcock was the master of suspense, crafting stories in a single location like an artist with a paintbrush? Those were the days when filmmakers weren't afraid to tackle big, moral stories, set against backdrops ranging from a prison cell to the deep blue sea, from the gas station in Arizona to a hospital in Stockholm, love was portrayed as the selfless, heart-pounding emotion it is,   but a means of confronting the punishments of the past.

Take "Street Scene" from 1931 – the street isn't just a name; it's the stage where life's drama unfolds. It's like the street itself is a character, shaping the narrative and trapping our heroes in the web of human interactions. It's storytelling, street style!

Back in the day, filmmakers drew inspiration from plays, bringing theatrical productions to the silver screen. 

Akira Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman left their mark internationally, diving into the depths of humanity and showcasing life's complexity through the lens. Kurosawa ventured into the forest, while Bergman opened the door to a maternity ward,   

Across the English Channel, French and British filmmakers introduced psychology and philosophy to the single-location setting. In 1945, the British film "Dead of Night" served as a framing narrative for several stories told within the confines of a room in a country house, employing flashbacks. Each story exhibited a quality of horror, weaving everything into a psychologically entangled loop.

In France, Jacqueline Audry turned Jean-Paul Sartre's play "No Exit" into a movie depicting a unique kind of hell—no physical torture, just the presence of other people. In Audry’s adoption, we get to see the characters' loved ones as well. However, in the BBC adaptation; they simplified the story and kept us on the edge of our seats with just three actors in hell.

This adaptation proved that movies shot in multiple locations can be remade in a single location without flashbacks or external shots. It highlights a theatrical storytelling style, relying on characters and dialogue to drive the plot.

Exploring one-location movies from the 50s and earlier reveals a rich tapestry of cinematic storytelling within confined settings. Despite the technological limitations of the early sound film era, filmmakers demonstrated remarkable creativity and ingenuity in crafting compelling narratives. 

The single-location concept transcended genres through innovative visual storytelling for the medium of cinema from horror to arthouse movies and from drama to crime mystery. 

The 1950s cinema era wrapped up with films like "12 Angry Men" and "House on Haunted Hill," where right and wrong kept being questioned. Up until a point in "Seven Waves Away," the narrator directly asks the audience to be the judge. 

Besides tackling deep questions about truth and morality which wasn’t new to theatre, this era marked a shift. Filmmakers realised the importance of engaging the audience, they realised what they show could be different from what the characters say, and close-ups changed the game of storytelling. Cinema wasn't just for
