Wissenswertes
The last film made at Ealing Studios, London.

Patzer
When a kid try to sell a new car's lamp, the policeman took him back to the junk yard and the lamp is still in car.

Sorry, not a goof. The two lamps on the front of the damaged car are the headlights, or lamps if you prefer. The boy had taken the fog lamp off the car. The fog lamp was a third lamp as may be seen at 34 mins when the collision occurs. The fog lamp is clearly seen on the nearside just above the bumper. When the car is on on the dump, the fog lamp is not there.

Zitate
[during the final chase, Halliday leaps onto the bonnet of the getaway car and stops it by smashing its windscreen with his truncheon; as it lurches to a halt, he falls off the bonnet onto the ground. Ward helps him up]
Detective-Sergeant Ward: Are you all right, sir?
Detective-Superintendent Tom Halliday: I'll live, I think.
Detective-Sergeant Ward: Nothing broken?
[Halliday pauses and looks mortified]
Detective-Superintendent Tom Halliday: Yes - a promise I made to let *other* people take the risks!

Crazy Credits
SPOILER: In the end credits Ursula Howells is credited twice: first as her fake character Mrs. Elliot, and then at the end as Mrs. Gilson, the wife of Gilson the criminal.

Anyone who likes British 1950s films MUST watch The Long Arm

The Long Arm is an excellent film in my opinion, for 2 main reasons. Firstly it captures all the elements of a typical 1950s British film, with typical London landmarks, familiar faces from other movies, and accents and a way of life portrayed from that era prior to the onset of the society-changing 1960s. Secondly the movie provides, for someone watching for the first time, a thrilling plot with several twists which keep you interested right to the end.

Hawkins is superb as the central character - with the investigation of a hit-and-run murder obviously a more serious crime in 50s London than nowadays. This is the sort of film to watch if you are off work on a midweek afternoon.
