Description

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Violent Playground opens with a few West Side Story style shots of a Liverpool street gang, commandeered by a very nasty-looking David McCallum. We're going to be seeing a lot more of McCallum before the final fadeout: His sister (Anne Heywood) is in love with an upright police officer (Stanley Baker). The film plods along predictable grounds until the climactic rumble sequence, which is as good as anything ever seen in Hollywood "J.D." picture. Violent Playground didn't get much American play in 1957, principally because there was a glut of such films at the time. The picture received a new lease on life in the early 1960s to cash in on the Man From UNCLE popularity of David McCallum. ...Violent Playground ( Violent Play ground )

  • Teen Life in Liverpool when the Beatles lived there
Excellent depiction of teenage life in Liverpool at a time when the Beatles first met each other. Makes me wonder if they ever talked about this film.

  • The more things change...
***MILD SPOILERS*** Insightful film about tense relations between the police and the disenfranchised poor in Liverpool. Gripping, suspenseful, film noirish, still timely in regards "us versus them" relations between police and citizens nearly 60 years hence. Good acting all round, except by some of the children. David McCallum (The Man From U.N.C.L.E., NCIS) is especially effective as a young man on the verge of cracking up and taking others with him. Recommended. ... show more
