IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY (1947) 92 min. D: Robert Hamer. A former barmaid (Googie Withers) scrapes by as a housewife in London’s deprived East End with two kids from a previous marriage and an older husband. When her former lover (John McCullum) escapes from Dartmoor Prison, he prevails on Withers to hide him in her household to escape the police dragnet. This superbly crafted picture—dark in subject matter, yet incredibly moving— is one of the most acclaimed productions of post war British cinema and was aptly described by William K. Everson as ‘the definitive British noir.” Adapted from Arthur Le Bern’s novel and directed with great sensitivity by Robert Hamer. Also starring Jack Warner. Filmed on location in Bethnal Green where 80 tons of Nazi bombs fell in September 1940, killing over 500 Londoners.
