A recently paroled gangster is sent back to prison after robbing a racetrack, with both the authorities and the criminal underworld looking for the money
This neo-noir crime film was released in the United States as The Concrete Jungle but was, for a while, banned in a number of countries following its realistic portrayal of prison life. It has a scene towards the end that was filmed on a cold and snowy day adjacent to the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union Canal in Southall with the former GWR creosoting yard featuring quite prominently.
