Quotes
Steve Winter: [Len is blackmailing someone] You're going to give me that card, Len.
Len Phillips: Am I?
Steve Winter: Yes, you are.
Len Phillips: That's what you think.
Steve Winter: I don't think, I know.
Len Phillips: What makes you so sure? Do you want to pick trouble?
Steve Winter: [Smiling] I don't Len, I just want you to give me that card.
Len Phillips: Here, who do you think you're talking to?
Steve Winter: You, Len. I know your type; all bluster and no guts.
Len Phillips: Well, I got friends, see, and if you try anything - ...
Steve Winter: I will. I've got certain things on my side, too.
Len Phillips: You a copper, or something?
Steve Winter: Never mind what I am, the main thing is I know what you are.
Len Phillips: You do, eh?
Steve Winter: Yes. It's not a pleasant world, is it? I know your type well. With you it's all take and no give. That's why you live by scrounging and sponging and bullying. And you're going to give me that card, Len, you know you are.
Len Phillips: What if I am, what are you going to do then?
Steve Winter: I don't know yet; that depends on how long it takes you to do as I tell you.
Len Phillips: [Trying to leave] Well, I've heard enough, see? I'm going now.
Steve Winter: No, you're not.
Len Phillips: Aren't I?
Steve Winter: No, you're not.
Len Phillips: If I didn't have a weak heart I'd show you.
Steve Winter: There's nothing wrong with your heart, Len.
Len Phillips: Oh, there isn't, eh? Listen, if you don't leave me alone I'll call the governor, I'm known here, see?
Steve Winter: Known? No, you're not. If you were, they wouldn't let you in.

French With Tears

Producer Anatole de Grunwald evidently saw post-war Britain - with its crime, spivs and fallout from wartime romances - ripe for a portmanteau film in the style of Duvivier's 'Un Carnet de Bal' for his first solo production.

Unfortunately Duvivier himself wasn't around to direct this time, and despite input from Terence Rattigan and the presence of Roland Young it's all rather bland; apart from the tragic episode with Derek Farr & Jean Kent, enhanced by Otto Heller's photography and a harp score by Benjamin Frankel that anticipates Bernard Herrmann's for 'Vertigo' ten years later.
