Hell Is a City, 1960.

Directed by Val Guest.

Starring Stanley Baker, Maxine Audley and Billie Whitelaw.

Synopsis:

World-weary police inspector Harry Martineau is on the trail of tough escaped convict and jewel thief Don Starling. His search ends up in Manchester, where the two men play a cat and mouse game of chase across the gangster and moll inhabited city...

A tense British thriller, Hell Is a City takes its stylistic and atmospheric cues from the Hollywood school of film-noir pictures, in particular1948's groundbreaking The Naked City. From the opening credits and bombastic jazz music played throughout, the influences on this Val Guest (The Quatermass Experiment, The Day the Earth Caught Fire) written and directed slice of crime action loom large.

The city in this case is Manchester, and never has the place been more threatening and eerily beautiful than in this flawed, yet compelling production. For the most »
