CESAR Romero (Ocean’s 11) gives a memorable performance as a Soho club owner who romances Kay Kendall's (Les Girls) unhappily married society girl in this taut Brit-noir thriller from the early 1950s. Street of Shadows (PG) is released on DVD on 9 May 2016, RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network’s ‘The British Film’ collection.
With impressive supporting performances from Egypt-born femme fatale Simone Silva (The Shadow Man) and noted British character actor Victor Maddern (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), Street of Shadows is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Luigi, the owner of a Soho gaming club, falls for Barbara, a beautiful socialite whose husband is a compulsive gambler. As their romance blossoms Luigi finds his former girlfriend murdered – with the evidence pointing in Barbara's direction. Under suspicion and on the run, he must find someone to help him before his luck runs out for good.
