The Frightened City movie scenes

The Frightened City is a 1961 British film about extortion rackets and gang warfare in the West End of London. It stars Sean Connery, who plays a burglar called Paddy Damion. He is lured into a protection racket by oily mobster Harry Foulcher (Alfred Marks), in order to support his partner in crime (Kenneth Griffith), who is injured in a robbery. However Damion has his wits about him.

Fright (film) movie scenes Wake in Fright is much more intriguing than Outback Though it does make the film seem like more of a thriller than it is

Although Connerys character has a girlfriend in the story, he seduces the beautiful Anya (Yvonne Romain), the mistress of the seedy and sinister crime boss Zhernikov (Herbert Lom). John Gregson plays Detective Inspector Sayers who is the policeman dedicated to tackling organised crime.

The Shadows had a hit single with the main theme.
