Seminal UK crime film from the 1950's that made a matinee idol of Dirk Bogarde as the young crook. The film served as useful propaganda for the police to show how far crime fighting and criminology had come since before the second world war.
The full resources of the metropolitan police are brought to bear in the search for two young crooks who murder a police officer during a robbery at a cinema. Incidentally, Jack Warner's character, George Dixon (the policeman who is murdered in the film) was resurrected years later, as the central character in the BBC television series 'Dixon of Dock Green'.
