It seems that BLAST OF SILENCE is a one-shot by Baron. I knew
a Baron from numerous TV serials... and to my amazement I
discovered in IMDb that it's the same person!
I never saw BLAST OF SILENCE (1961)- that I recall; heard
from it from time to time in Film noir articles and comments
from the US. I suspect it was never distributed in Europe at
the time (and films from the 60's I saw more than a lot them
over there... just believe me) It was a low budget,
independent film.
That's all I know.
If interested you may have a look at the following Web page
that I found for the film after you posted your query:
