"It always seemed to be such a big lonesome place."
A couple of sailors have differing reasons to go ashore in London. Dan (Bonar Colleano) is an American wheeler dealer who always has a scam on the go to make money. This leads him to get unwittingly involved in a diamond robbery. Johnny (Earl Cameron), meanwhile, is a nice Jamaican lad who pals along with Dan, and in doing so he meets Pat (Susan Shaw) and they immediately hit it off.
A fine drama, featuring one of the first examples of an inter-racial relationship in a British film. Overlooked and underrated gem.
