Original British posters on this 1948 film are highly prized by collectors, as they hardly ever surface.

This British gangster film, directed by John Boulting, was an adaptation of Graham Greene's 1938 novel of the same name. The cast includes Richard Attenborough, who plays violent small-time gang leader Pinkie Brown. Pinkie murders a journalist he thinks is responsible for the death of a fellow gang member, and in trying to conceal the evidence, gets into trouble with not only the police, but also a rival gang.
