Graham Greene`s Brighton Rock is the classic murder tale set in 1930s Brighton & which was made into a successful feature film in 1948. A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign & ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold.
