This is a 29" x 43" Argentine one-sheet poster for the 1950 Basil
Dearden film The Blue Lamp based on a screenplay by
T.E.B. Clarke and starring Jack Warner as Constable George Dixon. The
title refers to blue lamps that used to hang outside British police
stations. Plot summary: This film, produced by Ealing Studios of
London, depicts an encounter in July 1949 in the Paddington Green area
of London between two police officers named George Dixon [Jack Warner]
and Andy Mitchell [Jimmy Hanley] and two thieves named Tom Riley [Dirk
Bogarde] and Spud [Patric Doonan] who plan a series of robberies with
the help of Tom's girlfriend Diana Lewis [Peggy Evans]. When Tom
Riley fatally shoots George Dixon during one of the robberies, many
new implications and repercussions are added to the story. This is an
early social realism film in which the lines between law-abiding
citizens, law enforcement and criminal elements are still clearly
drawn.
