Tiger Bay - 1959 - 6/10

Seaman Korchinsky returns from recent voyage, only to discover his girl now keeps company with a rich swell.
Two minutes of rage lead to regret, remorse and flight.
There is a witness, however, a young girl. Talkative and a habitual liar.

Great looking urban film, shot in Cardiff. Neighborhood brims with immigrants and working class.
The coppers, as in most period British films, are dogged, yet receive scant cooperation from locals.
Story becomes one of hunts and standoffs, and viewer sympathy shifts periodically.
