The Blue Lamp (1950)
Directed by Basil Dearden
“Sheds just enough light for MURDER”
Crime, Thriller, Action · 1h 24m
P.C. George Dixon is a long-serving traditional copper who is due to retire shortly. He takes a new recruit under his aegis and introduces him to the easy-going night beat. Dixon is a classic ordinary hero but also anachronistic, unprepared and unable to answer the violence of the 1950s.
