Black Memory

A young British boy's dad is convicted of murder and hanged. The boy lands in a boarding school where he's horribly bullied and ends up running away. Years later he returns to his old stomping grounds and discovers his father may not have been quite as guilty as everyone thinks. Will he find out who the real killer is? This interesting late '40s British crime film almost plays like a '50s JD movie. Sid James has a good part as a craggy old bartender.
