About this product

Product Information

Nigel Patrick and Michael Craig portray two Scotland Yard detectives who are investigating the murder of a young black woman who had been passing for white. As timely a topic today as when made in an England rampant with racial prejudice in the 1950s, it stays just this side of an in-depth indictment of racism and bigotry as the detectives investigate the vast array of suspects--everyone from the girl's white boyfriend and his parents who feared that the association would destroy his career to the boys that the girl had spurned when she was accepted by white society.

  • SAPPHIRE

    SAPPHIRE is one of the better British films made and released in the late 1950's. An excellent cast of famous actors including Nigel Patrick, Bernard Miles, Michael Craig, and Yvonne Mitchell, Produced by Michael Relph and Directed by Basil Dearden. This was a thought provoking who done-it-crime centered on Race Relations in Britain. Always on the move, this drama follows Scotland Yard detectives as they hunt for the killer of an attractive girl who wanted to marry into an established English family, but all is not what it seems and there is a strong current of racial hatred flowing beneath family values. Definitely an outstanding film and very rare on DVD. Buy it for its clever plot as it twists and turns through its entire story. Good Value. DAVE COX

  • Great British Crime Thriller

    An intelligent, gripping crime thriller which exposes the racist element in British society and the police in the 1950s. Excellent performances from, what was at the time, a stellar British cast, including Nigel Patrick, Michael Craig, Bernard Miles and Yvonne Mitchell. Highly recommended.
