Tiger Bay
1959, English. Directed by J. Lee Thompson.
MURDER...enacted before the eyes of a little girl. She alone has the proof the police are searching for.
In Tiger Bay, the docklands of Cardiff, street urchin Gillie witnesses the brutal murder of a young woman. Instead of reporting the crime, she merely pockets a prize for herself — the perpetrator's shiny black revolver — and flees. When Detective Graham discovers that Gillie has the murder weapon, the fiery young girl weaves a web of lies to throw him off course.
