Pinky's problems


Brighton Rock (1948)

Directed by John Boulting this film based on the novel of the same name stars Richard Attenborough, Hermione Baddeley and Carol Marsh. A 17 year old gangster in Brighton kills a man then tries to cover it up with spiraling consequences.

Well made and in the tradition of noir films of the period this is a really good watch. The plot has some interesting characters that slowly crack under the pressure of the story. I really enjoyed some of the shots, this film is well worth it's reputation.

4/5
