A pregnant woman found dead on Hampstead Heath is assumed to be white, until her black brother comes to the police station to give evidence
This crime drama highlights racial hostility towards Commonwealth immigrants in 1950s London and was progressive at the time. It features a shot of the building to Tufnell Park Underground station and an overview of Southam Street, London W10, which backs on to the Great Western main line out of Paddington. In the background, an ex-GWR steam loco is reversing out of shot but its actual identity is impossible to ascertain.
