Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAkira Kurosawa visited the set, meeting one of his main influences, John Ford.
- GoofsThe background scene of London outside Gideon's office windows is actually a miniature set rather than back projected film. This is revealed by the fact that the cars and buses crossing the bridge are clearly small models or toys. In fact in the opening shot of Gideon looking out of his office at night, the miniature is used on its own instead of inserting stock footage, and the model vehicles are particularly noticeable.
- Quotes
[Gideon goes to arrest a woman and is confronted by her lover who brandishes his gun at Gideon]
Insp. George Gideon: There's a police car outside with two men in it. And if you were fool enough to fire that gun...
Paul Delafield: I don't see why you should speak in the subjunctive. I *am* going to fire this gun.
- Crazy creditsWhen title music plays "London Bridge is Falling Down" there is a full-screen picture of Tower Bridge.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Ken Adam: Designing Bond (2000)
Featured review
There was no distinguished Britiesh actor quite like Jack "We-keep-you-alive-to-serve-this-ship" Hawkins, who will always be remembered for his great character portrayal from Ben Her and numerous other great roles in films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Nicholas and Alexandra, plus so many more! The humor (or should I say humour?) in this look at a day in the life of the memorable figure of Chief Inspector Gideon of Scotland Yard makes this film so much more than an average crime flick! It is the Brit sense of humor that still makes us like the films of the underworld movies done so beautifully by Guy Ritchie. A memorable and very enjoyable watch!
