Wednesday June 18 8:40pm
British PostWar Crime
DIRECTOR LANCE COMFORT DOUBLE DECKER PLUS MINI
1947 Temptation Harbour (102m)
with Robert Newton, Simone Simon, William Hartnell, Marcel Dalio
Homegrown railway-set poetic realism, bolstered by “mermaid” Simon and the Simenon source (Man From London). Newton was one of the best, and Comfort should have had a better career.
with
1962 Tomorrow At Ten (80m)
with Robert Shaw, John Gregson, Kenneth Cope, Alec Clunes, Alan Wheatley, William Hartnell
Young Shaw tears it up as a bomb-threatening child-kidnapper, with Gregson as the undervalued cop and a fourth act twist you will not guess.
plus
1963 Incident At Midnight (Norman Harrison, 56m)
with Anton Differing, Tony Garnett, William Sylvester, Justine Lord, Warren Mitchell
Bonus Edgar Wallace set around a late-night chemist, a bit tougher than usual. Rather a neat near-real-time multi-character piece.
