The Frightened City
Description: Featuring a pre-Bond Sean Connery as gruff Irish mob enforcer Paddy Damion, THE FRIGHTENED CITY is a prime example of 1960s British film noir. Though it is set in London, the film makes a poignant nod to American mob violence in one scene where Scotland Yard condemns the press for making analogies to Chicago gang uprisings--a big news item at the time of its 1962 release. In addition to Connery, the film features Czech actor Herbert Lom in an early villainous role--he would later become known for his excellent performances as Inspector Clouseau's boss in THE PINK PANTHER. The corrupt accountant Waldo Zhernikov (Lom) wants to consolidate each of London's six crime organizations into one unstoppable syndicate. He recruits a two-bit racketeer, Harry Foulcher (Alfred Marks), to run the reorganization, so that Zhernikov can remain the powerful, silent brains behind the operation. However, when things go wrong, an all-out mob gang war ignites, with Zhernikov, Foulcher, and Damion all fighting for control.
