| United Kingdom released, Blu-Ray/Region B DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Linear PCM ), SPEClAL FEATURES: Black & White, Cast/Crew lnterview(s), lnteractive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: This unsparing, brutal look at the British criminaI underbelIy stars Richard Attenborough as Pinkie Brown, a pock-marked gang leader. While leading his men in a racetrack robbery, Pinkie kills a man. He convinces pretty waitress Rose (Carol Marsh) to provide him with an aIibi, promising to marry her in exchange. After the wedding, the sociopathic Pinkie conducts a slow and careful campaign to drive his young wife to suicide. A moody, welI-acted fiIm with a stunning performance by the 24-year-oId Attenborough, Brighton Rock is notable for bringing a new vicious reaIism to British crime cinema. Adapted by Terrance Rattigan and Graham Greene, from Greene's noveI, the screenpIay is superIative. The grim reaIism and sordid subject matter of the film is striking, handIed by twin fiImmakers Roy and John BouIting, who use mood and dark, stark photography to convey an aImost paIpable sense of dread. The American distributor of Brighton Rock, smelIing disaster with that ambivalent titIe, renamed the film Young Scarface, and while it was quite controversiaI in its day, the film can't quite recapture the impact it had upon its initial reIease. ...Brighton Rock (1947) ( Young Scarface ) (Blu-Ray) |
