It isn't often that a novel of the quality of Brighton Rock migrates to the silver screen so well. Graham Greene's collaberation on this film shows in this true representation of his dialogue in film. A masterful performance from the young Richard Attenborough portrays Pinkie's psychopathic and perhaps homosexual character so well. Excellent performances from some English actors such as William Hartnell and Nigel Stock who would have long careers in film and television. The pace of the storyline never eases and the excellent continuity brings to life the atmosphere of a racing week-end in Brighton. The sharpness of this black and white film is stunning and adds the finishing touch to this film noir Fred
