      From: wlah...@gmail.com              Hey,              This was made in one of my favorite eras in Brit filmmaking: The calm before       the storm of angry young men and kitchen sink films. Because it's in black and       white, it's a crime film, and every man wears a fedora, there are knuckleheads       out there who swear        it's a “film noir.” This film is about as “noir” as a Victorian       Christmas card. This is a reassuring, somewhat sentimental, pro-police       procedural.               For what it is, it's really well done in that on-location British way. The       story is about the relationship between a recently added young policeman and       an older – who might retire – wise-to-the-world seasoned officer. The       young policeman even moves        in with the older policeman and his wife. And then things change.              Directed by Basil Deardon from a script by T E B Clarke and starring Jack       Warner, Jimmy Hanley, and Dirk Bogarde, among others.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
