Attenborough arrestingly plays [Pinkie] as a cowardly and manipulative animal deserving of death.

Richard Attenborough, aged only 24, creates one of the most chilling antiheroes in British cinema: baby-faced psychopath Pinkie Brown takes an unsettling satisfaction in his capacity for cruelty and ruthlessness.

Anyone interested after seeing this film [the 2011 version] should go straight to the 1947 original and the uncanny way in which the steadily decent and amiable Attenborough was so scary.

...cinematographer Harry Waxman captures the desperate grittiness of a resort town during the Great Depression.
