Brighton Rock (1947)-Brit noir set in the seaside town showing off it's underbelly of gangster crimes in the 40s. Astonishing to see a younger William Hartnell than the old crackpot we saw him as in Doctor Who as one of the gansters.I thought personally the character of Pinkie (Richard Attenborough) was overplayed as the cold gang leader but the film overall is very effective in creating the tense atmosphere of the town in both daylight and at night time which is to be commended. Essential viewing for Film Noir fans.
