'Hell is a City' 1960 - A Cinematic Sausage film review
If purgatory is a small
market town, surely that makes ‘Hell a City’, does it not?
Broadcaster Martin Holmes joins me as we walk the mean streets of Manchester, seeking out Stanley Baker in the iconic 1960s Hammer film, ‘Hell is a City’
The unlocking of the restraints of London centric locations, causes the impact of the Manchester
cityscape to sear its DNA throughout this film, like the words ‘Blackpool’ through a stick of rock.
Join us on a journey of crime, sex, violence and Joby Blanchard’s accent. Stepping back in time to the
black and white era of quality British crime noir.
From a robbery gone wrong, to the tossers’ gathering on the nearby moors. Pushing the boundaries of the repressed late 1950s this film sets the bar high for any proceeding crime drama.
*Martin Homes hosts the Vision on Sound radio show (a show about old television programmes) On FAB Radio International every Sunday night at 7pm GMT
