First of the Ealing comedies. A bunch of crooks use a comic paper,
featuring stories penned by Felix H. Wilkinson (Alastair Sim), to
pass on coded messages for robberies. When the comic's readership,
a bunch of East End boys, discover what's going on they go to the
police. The local constabulary, however, are no help, and so the
plucky lads set out to foil the robbers themselves.
Realist drama from Ealing Studios, based on a novel by Arthur La
Bern and set in London's working-class East End just after World
War 2. The action unfolds over the course of one dismal, rainy
Sunday. Tommy Swann (John McCallum) has escaped from Dartmoor
prison and turns up at the drab East End home of his former love
Rose (Googie Withers), who is now married to the staid George
(Edward Chapman) with three children. Rose has a difficult decision
to make: should she help Tommy, or put her marriage - and the
claustrophobic domesticity it entails - first?
Additional Authors Include W. Mellers, Theodore Chanler, Howard
Hanson And Others. Edited By Minna Lederman And Frani Muser.

In Jean Cocteau's updating of the Orpheus myth, Orphee (Jean
Marais) is a famous poet whose obsession with a mysterious princess
- representing death - and a series of cryptic radio broadcasts
causes him to neglect his wife. When she is killed, the guilty poet
travels to the Underworld to win her back - and to find the
princess. `Orphee' is famous for its dreamlike quality, with images
of mirrors and the Nazi occupation of France.
