A double bill of two British crime thrillers.
THE BLUE LAMP: In a chilling role, Dirk Bogarde plays a young criminal who kills a policeman on the brink of retirement (Jack Warner in the role of Inspector Dixon) after a bungled robbery. After another botched robbery and another murder, a huge manhunt leads to a showdown in a greyhound stadium.
THE NANNY: Joey is a troubled boy accused of drowning his little sister in a bathtub and institutionalised, though he claims the family's old, trusted Nanny is the killer. When his return is followed by the deaths of his aunt and mother, Joey is again a prime suspect. Based on Evelyn Piper's novel, THE NANNY is a stylish whiteknuckler with Bette Davis' menace at its peak.
