NOTES |
The film
from Graham Greene's novel is notable mainly for |
|
Attenborough's performance as the sociopath Pinky Brown. |
|
He's a small
time gang leader who during a robbery at a |
|
racetrack
kills someone. To get an alibi he promises to marry |
|
a waitress.
After the marriage he dedicates himself to |
|
driving her
insane and later murdering her. |
|
Black,
downbeat, seedy, sordid, a shock for those who |
|
believe the
only crime then was scrumping apples. |
