AN MARVELLOUS PERIOD PIECE
Released in 1947 it was overshadowed by Brighton Rock of course.
We were delighted to be instrumental, together with Jonathan Duvall, to arrange a one night screening of the the only print(then at the BFI) of this film at The Silver Screen Cinema Folkestone.
I tried to find some of the locals, kindly assisted by John Gale local fisherman, who had appeared as extras to attend too. This was 2012 and pre-digitising of the print.
Robert Newton was said to be partial to a drink on set!
It is a classic film noir and great shots of the sleepy fishing village that is now a bustling resort. As a Dr. Who fan - it is also interesting to see William Hartnell in a very different role.
