Pool of London

Directed by Basil Dearden.
With Bonar Colleano, Earl Cameron, Susan Shaw.
UK, 1951, DCP, black & white, 85 min.

This remarkable London film tells the story of two seamen who become entangled in a smuggling racket. Bold for the time-period in casting a Black actor (Earl Cameron) as the romantic lead, the film is directed with typical rigor by one of Britain’s most underrated talents, Basil Dearden.
