Collection of classic British film noirs. 'Hunted' (1952) stars
Dirk Bogarde as hapless murderer Chris Lloyd, who takes flight from
his crime with six-year-old witness Robbie (Jon Whiteley) in tow.
As they head towards the Scottish border, the pair strike up a
friendship of sorts and Lloyd learns that the boy has problems of
his own. 'So Long at the Fair' (1950) follows the fortunes of Vicky
Barton (Jean Simmons) as she attempts to locate her missing
brother, Johnny (David Tomlinson), in Paris. George Hathaway
(Bogarde), an acquaintance of her brother, may hold the key to her
quest. '21 Days' (1937) stars Laurence Olivier as Larry, a man who
accidentally kills the ex-husband of his girlfriend, Wanda (Vivien
Leigh), and appeals to his brother, Keith (Leslie Banks), for help.
Keith, a young barrister on the verge of being promoted to the
bench, is reluctant to get involved, but when a tramp is arrested
for the crime the two brothers face a grave dilemma. 'Turn the Key
Softly' (1953) stars Joan Collins, Yvonne Mitchell and Kathleen
Harrison as a trio of women from different backgrounds released
from prison on the same day. The three agree to meet for dinner to
discuss their first day of freedom - if they can survive its
temptations and avoid heading straight back to jail, of course.
'Sapphire' (1959) explores the aftermath of the murder of a
fair-skinned West Indian immigrant in London. To the police, led by
Superintendent Hazard (Nigel Patrick) and Inspector Learoyd
(Michael Craig), the case seems clear cut - Sapphire must have been
killed by a member of the black community. However, when Sapphire's
brother (Earl Cameron) turns up at the police station and
Sapphire's true ethnic roots become known, Hazard and Learoyd must
face up to the racism of two communities and, quite possibly, their
own.
