In one of the best British films noir, Dickie Attenborough¹s deceptively innocent looks hide a violent and temperamental maniac. Pinkie will not tolerate drinking and smoking, but condones the occasional murder. The
seediness of the seaside town is almost palpable; the sleazy nightlife, the greasy fish and chips (and hairstyles), the great underbelly of B&B Brighton. Expressionistic studio shots and night-time locations ­down
alleyways and streets ­ give the seaside town a nightmarish look never seen before. Arguably the best film made by the talented Boulting brothers, it competes with the best of the underworld films made in Hollywood.
