Description

A beautiful female college student is found dead in a public park; the police soon discover that her murder may have been racially motivated. Basil Dearden’s bold, direct police procedural, starring Nigel Patrick as the detective in charge of the investigation, is a devastating look at the way bigotry crosses class divides, and a snapshot of the increasingly interracial culture of England in the late fifties.

    I knew this film would be very good when I watched the preview of it. It was meticulously done, performed, written, and the print is sterling. A must see. It is engaging and remarkable. A rare film. One cannot help but admire something so well made.
