The Blue Lamp (1950)

Sheds just enough light for MURDER

1h 24m · Released · TMDB ★ 6.6 (64)

P.C. George Dixon is a long-serving traditional copper who is due to retire shortly. He takes a new recruit under his aegis and introduces him to the easy-going night beat. Dixon is a classic ordinary hero but also anachronistic, unprepared and unable to answer the violence of the 1950s.
