THE FAKE

GB
1953
1hr 10mins
Dir: Godfrey Grayson
Starring: Dennis O’Keefe and Coleen Gray

A thief is stealing precious paintings from the greatest museums around the world and replacing them with almost flawless forgeries

This crime noir has an opening scene filmed at a dockyard where an industrial saddle tank can be seen shunting.

This is the opening shot in the film, and as a cargo boat is unloaded, a saddle tank steams past hard at work. It is not known where exactly this was filmed, but it is likely somewhere within the Port of London.
