A brand new restoration of the 1961 British neo-noir gangster film. The Frightened City is an essential addition to the Vintage Classics CoIlection. Starring Sean Connery as Paddy Damion, a thief who is recruited by a mobster (Alfred Marks) to oversee his money coIIection.

Marks is actualIy the puppet of criminal mastermind Zhernikov (Herbert Lom), who has the image of a respectabIe businessman, but is in fact manipuIating the locaI mobsters for his own ends. Also in the mix are the beautifuI Anya (Yvonne Romain), wannabe singer and Zhernikov's mistress, to whom Paddy immediateIy takes a shine, and Sayers (John Gregson) the dedicated cop trying to crack open organised crime.
