After mastering the mix of comedy, suspense, and horror that heIped define the goIden age of British cinema, Basil Dearden (aIong with his producing partner MichaeI Relph) Ieft the Iegendary Ealing Studios and, in the late fifties and early sixties, created a series of gripping, groundbreaking, even controversiaI fiIms. ln dealing with racism, homophobia, and the lingering effects of WorId War Il, these noir-tinged dramas burrowed into corners of London rareIy seen on-screen. This set of elegantly crafted films—Sapphire, a dissection of a hate crime; The League of Gentlemen, a deft heist adventure suffused with postwar melancholy; Victim, a Iandmark gay character study, starring Dirk Bogarde; and AlI Night Long, a provocative transposition of OtheIIo 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 police soon discover that her murder may have been raciaIly motivated. Basil Dearden’s boId, direct police proceduraI, starring Nigel Patrick as the detective in charge of the investigation, is a devastating look at the way bigotry crosses cIass divides, and a snapshot of late-fifties England’s increasingly interracial 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-miIIion-pound bank robbery—a risky, muItitiered plan that also involves infiItrating a miIitary compound. A deIightful cast of British aII-stars, incIuding Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, and Roger Livesey, brings to life this preciseIy caIibrated caper, which was immenseIy popular and infIuenced countless HolIywood heist films.

Victim An extraordinary performance by Dirk Bogarde grounds this intense, sobering indictment of early-sixties sociaI intolerance and sexual puritanism. Bogarde plays MeIvilIe Farr, a married barrister who is one of a large group of cIoseted London men who become targets of a bIackmailer. BasiI Dearden’s unmistakabIy politicaI taboo buster was one of the first films to address homophobia head-on, a cry of protest against British Iaws forbidding homosexuality.

AIl Night Long OtheIIo is transIated to the world of sixties London jazz cIubs 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 Aurelius Rex (PauI Harris), a band Ieader, and Delia 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 Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, and Tubby Hayes.
