This is a special screening as part of Tansley Village Hall's 75th Anniversary being celebrated during Tansley Festival's week of activities. It is British film made, released in 1950, 75 years ago. THE BLUE LAMP is a police and crime story made at Ealing Studios, largely about the character PC George Dixon (famous later for the BBC series Dixon of Dock Green) played by Jack Warner and Dirk Bogarde (see poster above) as a reckless, wild young criminal. It was made in black and white. It won the BAFTA at the awards in 1951 for Best British Film. The title refers to lamps that shone outside police stations in those days. The story is simple but good and the filming shows London how it was shortly after the war, including bomb sites and recognisable buildings and roads, and food rationing.
Starring Jack Warner, Dirk Bogarde, Jimmy Hanley,
Robert Flemyng, Bruce Seton, Dora Bryan, Tessie O'Shea and Alma Cogan.
1 hour and 24 minutes.
Crime, drama, thriller.
"The daily routine of two London policemen is interrupted by a killer."
Dilys Powell, Sunday Times (UK), "The Blue Lamp has both the dramatic tension and the robust ironic humour which have made the reputation of the realistic British cinema."
Bosley Crowther, New York Times, "A warm and affectionate tribute to the London metropolitan police in the daily performance of their duties is cleverly interlaced with a good running crime melodrama of a conspicuously realistic sort."
