The Blue Lamp (1950)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 84m
Director: Basil Dearden
Cast: Jack Warner, Jimmy Hanley, Dirk Bogarde
Synopsis:
A veteran Bobby takes a young constable under his wing, while a criminal gang plans a series of daring armed robberies.
Review:
Classic British crime movie, which started at least two careers and painted an enduring picture of the London Bobby as romantic as Ford's of the 7th Cavalry. It does feature one hysterical performance from the actress playing Bogarde's girlfriend and gave rise some years later to the TV series: Dixon of Dock Green, starring a resurrected Warner.
