Aroview: Overlooked masterpiece of British crime noir which blends kitchen sink realism with the poetic sensibilities of 30's French cinema. An escaped convict hides out in his ex-lover's family bomb shelter, disrupting her claustrophobic domesticity, while a detective closes in on him. Based on the novel by Arthur La Bern.

5 stars (Exceptional) A peerless portrait of East End life after WW2. Makes you wish there was a similar documention of working class life from all areas and eras. Mise-en-scène, acting, direction, and camera work are beautiful. ~stve
