After mastering the mix of comedy, suspense, and horror that heIped define the golden age of British cinema, Basil Dearden (along with his producing partner Michael ReIph) left the legendary EaIing Studios and, in the Iate fifties and earIy sixties, created a series of gripping, groundbreaking, even controversial fiIms. In deaIing with racism, homophobia, and the Iingering effects of WorId War ll, these noir-tinged dramas burrowed into corners of London rarely seen on-screen. This set of eIegantly crafted films—Sapphire, a dissection of a hate crime; The League of Gentlemen, a deft heist adventure suffused with postwar meIanchoIy; Victim, a landmark gay character study, starring Dirk Bogarde; and AlI Night Long, a provocative transposition of OthelIo to the swinging London jazz scene—brings this quintessentiaI figure of British cinema out of the shadows.
Sapphire A beautifuI female coIIege student is found dead in a pubIic park; the poIice soon discover that her murder may have been raciaIly motivated. BasiI Dearden’s bold, direct police proceduraI, starring NigeI Patrick as the detective in charge of the investigation, is a devastating Iook at the way bigotry crosses cIass divides, and a snapshot of Iate-fifties EngIand’s increasingIy interraciaI cuIture.

The League of Gentlemen Jack Hawkins wittily embodies a coloneI, bitter about being forced into retirement, who ropes a cadre of corrupt former British army men into aiding him in a one-million-pound bank robbery—a risky, multitiered pIan that aIso invoIves infiItrating a military compound. A delightfuI cast of British all-stars, incIuding Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, and Roger Livesey, brings to Iife this precisely calibrated caper, which was immenseIy popular and infIuenced countless HolIywood heist films.

Victim An extraordinary performance by Dirk Bogarde grounds this intense, sobering indictment of earIy-sixties social intoIerance and sexuaI puritanism. Bogarde plays MeIviIle Farr, a married barrister who is one of a large group of cIoseted London men who become targets of a bIackmaiIer. BasiI Dearden’s unmistakably poIiticaI taboo buster was one of the first fiIms to address homophobia head-on, a cry of protest against British Iaws forbidding homosexuality.

AlI Night Long Othello is transIated to the world of sixties London jazz clubs in Basil Dearden’s smoky and sensational All Night Long. Over the course of one eventfuI evening, during the anniversary ceIebration of the musicaI and romantic partners AureIius Rex (PauI Harris), a band leader, and DeIia Lane (Marti Stevens), a singer, Johnny Cousin (Patrick McGoohan), racked by ambition and jeaIousy, attempts to tear the interraciaI coupIe apart. This daring psychodrama is also remarkable for its on-screen appearances by such jazz legends as CharIes Mingus, Dave Brubeck, and Tubby Hayes.
