Film Matinee: Pool of London

BBC One
on BBC One London

continues the season of British films from the 40s and 50s. Starring Bonar Colleano , Susan Shaw
Brilliantly used London locations give this thriller about a robbery which leads to murder an added excitement and authenticity. In addition to the central story of a small-time customs dodger who gets involved in bigger crime, the film tackles the theme of racial intolerance. Romance, a daring robbery and a portrait of post-war London are all interwoven with the racial theme which proved way ahead of its time.
Screenplay by JACK WHITTINGHAM and JOHN ELDRIDGE Produced by MICHAEL BALCON Directed by BASIL DEARDEN
