Description
This unusual departure for director Ford depicts a day-in-the-life of a busy London detective (Hawkins), whose work includes hunting murderers, thwarting bank robberies, and exposing corrupt colleagues. Released in the U.S. in a shortened, black and white version, this archival 35mm print of the European release restores the Technicolor and about 10 minutes of footage.
