High Contrast Cinema are proud to bring this little-seen UK crime drama to the big screen as part of their 'Made in Britain' season. Released in 1951, when London still served as a major shipping port, Pool Of London stars Bonar Colleano and Earl Cameron as merchant seamen on shore leave in the capital. When their dabbling in petty smuggling leads them into the path of a gang of thieves, events quickly spiral out of control. Notable for being one of the first British films to feature an interracial romance, it has an evocative sense of time and place and features some tremendous performances from actors less well known to modern audiences. High Contrast had to seek special permission to screen this film so please don't miss out on this opportunity to see it as it was meant to be seen.
Pool of London is rated PG for mild violence.
