Plot

The Blue Lamp: Remember rainy Saturday evenings after the football results? Remember Dixon of Dock Green? Well, this is the movie that spawned the quintessentially English police drama. When PC Dixon is shot whilst on duty, the Paddington Green force must enter the sinister territory of London's underworld. Winner of Best British film at the 1950 Baftas. The Nanny: The Fane family are an unusual if not unhinged group of individuals, but there nanny is in a league of her own. The Nanny is a delicious psychological thriller which pays considerable homage in its style and atmosphere to Bette Davis' earlier "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane".
