http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryAUezPGL5o - this is part one of Brighton Rock a film that came out in 1947 about a gangster named Pinkie Brown he is a small-town hoodlum whose gang runs a protection racket based at Brighton race course. When Pinkie orders the murder of a rival, Fred, the police believe it to be suicide. This doesn't convince Ida Arnold, who was with Fred just before he died, and she sets out to find the truth. She comes across naive waitress Rose, who can prove that Fred was murdered. In an attempt to keep Rose quiet Pinkie marries her. But with his gang beginning to doubt his ability, and his rivals taking over his business, Pinkie starts to become more desperate and violent. Pinkie is played by a world famous Richard Attenborough. he is an actor i have enjoyed watching in the also famous Jurrasic Park trilogy.
This film is a classic example of a social realist film although our film has some mild violence within it, when the two brothers fall out and it ends in a brawl in which the older brother wins.
