Collection of five films starring Dirk Bogarde. In 'The Spanish
Gardener' (1956), after seeing his young son Nicholas (Jon
Whiteley) strike up a friendship with their gardener Jose
(Bogarde), retired diplomat Harrington Brande (Michael Hordern)
becomes jealous of the relationship the two have formed and
conspires to have his employee sent to prison by framing him for
theft. Harrington's plans soon come unstuck, however, when the
gardener escapes, and Nicholas, learning of his father's actions,
decides to run off and join his friend. In 'Penny Princess' (1952)
bankrupt microstate Lampidorra is saved when it is bought by a
wealthy American who later dies. Lampidorra is subsequently
bequeathed to Lindy Smith (Yolande Donlan) who is inexperienced in
financial matters. With her inheritence temporarily withheld due to
legal issues, Lindy, assisted by salesman Tony Craig (Bogarde),
comes up with a money-making scheme but it is not without hitches.
In 'Boys in Brown' (1949), after being caught and sent to a borstal
for three years because of his involvement in a robbery, teenager
Jackie Knowles (Richard Attenborough) makes friends with fellow
juvenile delinquents Alfie (Bogarde) and Bill (Jimmy Hanley).
Meanwhile, the reformatory govenor (Jack Warner) attempts to keep
the boys under control. In 'The Singer Not the Song' (1961) John
Mills stars as Father Michael Keogh, a determined and
well-intentioned Catholic priest who arrives in a godforsaken
Mexican village and quickly finds himself at loggerheads with a
gang of murderous bandits led by Anacleto (Bogarde). The rivalry
between the priest and the bandit leader intensifies, reaching its
climax in a dramatic showdown over beautiful local girl Locha
(Mylène Demongeot). In 'Hunted' (1952) hapless murderer Chris Lloyd
(Bogarde) takes flight from his crime with six-year-old witness
Robbie (Whiteley) in tow. As they head towards the Scottish border,
the fugitive begins to form a bond with the boy, who has problems
of his own.
