BLUE LAMP #77

Original 9 1/4 inch x 7 1/2 inch Black and White Still of DIRK BOGARDE & JACK WARNER in the 1949 Basil Dearden Ealing Studios Police Drama THE BLUE LAMP, written by T.E.B. Clarke.

The Coliseum Cinema (in the Harrow Road), foyer scene with posters for GRANNY GET YOUR GUN starring May Robson.

Michael Balcon had wanted to make a film about the police’s work in 1939, but the Metropoliltan Police, when asked to discuss the project, delivered a crushing snub. A decade later, their co-operation was very full. Alexander Mackendrick directed the second unit, shooting the car scenes on location.

The still, removed from distributor’s key book of stills and mounted on linen quality paper, is in very good condition
