Description

Dive into the dark side of postwar British cinema with three gems of film noir, each featuring the great Herbert Lom (Inspector Dreyfuss of Blake Edwards’ Pink Panther films). Cage of Gold (1950) – A Young bride (Jean Simmons) believes her husband (David Farrar) has been killed, only to find the “dead” man come back with devious intentions. A glittering thriller directed by Basil Dearden (The Blue Lamp) and co-starring Lom, James Donald and Bernard Lee. The Ringer (1952) – Lom takes the lead as a crooked lawyer who is hounded by vengeance seeking master of disguise. Future 007 veteran Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger) make his directorial debut with this taut Edgar Wallace (Chamber of Horrors) adaptation. The Frightened City (1961) – Lom is a London accountant who, with the help of an ex-thief (a pre-Bond Sean Connery), plans to merge six criminal gangs into a single syndicate. It’s extortion, racketeering and murder—the English way—in this action-thriller directed by John Lemont (The Shakedown).
