Movie Reviews of Hell is a City
Movie Review: 'ONE OF MY FAVORITE BRITISH FILMS"
Summary: 5 Stars
Some others are;"The Third Man", "Room At The Top", "Brief Incounter","The Smallest Show On Earth". Stanley Baker (1928-76) had an intensity of a Sean Connery. A vicious escaped convict played by John Crawford is ready for another hiest. There's an interesting gambling scene on the foggy moors. Lot of the filming was done in Manchester. There's a big fight between Cop; Baker and Crawford on the roof tops of the City. The Barmaid played by Vanda Godsell gives a virtioso sexy acting performance that is one of the many highlights of this film. I'm sure Americans know Donald Pleasence, He has a part in this film. There is a quick breast shot when Crawford is wrestling with his hostage on the stairs.(I guess that could be one of the reasons why we sometimes might use the PAUSE button.) There isn't a bad actor in the bunch here.
The DVD is widescreen,Black and White,There is an alternate Ending in one of the Extra's,Theater Trailer,Talent Bio,
Interview with Director Val Guest. At one point the interviewer mentions that Crawford looks like a handsome Timothy Carey
("The Killing",Tv's" Mike Hammer") That comment got me laughing. It's a very good interview with Guest.
I was lucky to get "The Good Die Young" off the TV because I don't think you can get it on Region 1. The other Baker movie I recommend for a good prison picture is;"The Convict". But, "Hell Is The City" is one I could see twice a year, that's how much I like this film. It had 2 Award nominations. Every scene clicks excellence.
