THE SMALL WORLD OF SAMMY LEE

GB
1963
1hr 47mins
Dir: Ken Hughes
Starring: Anthony Newley and Julia Foster

A small-time wide-boy and seedy strip-club compere is hunted across the underworld of London by debt collectors

This engrossing thriller features a shot of the entrance to Whitechapel Underground station. The film was in fact a considerably expanded version of Ken Hughes’s famous TV play Sammy, but did not, for some obscure reason, enjoy similar success.

This is the good clear shot of the station frontage to Whitechapel. The signage states that the station is on the Metropolitan and District Lines. It is now on the Hammersmith & City and District Lines.
