1959-11-021h 32mMystery / Crime / Thriller7.0/10TMDB · 53 votes

Two Scotland Yard detectives investigate the murder of a young woman of mixed race who had been passing for white. As they interview a spate of suspects -- including the girl's white boyfriend and his disapproving parents -- the detectives wade through a stubbornly entrenched sludge of racism and bigotry.

“The sensational story of a girl who didn't belong.”

The world, in frames.

Stills, posters, and artwork in every language.
