Dir: John Lee Thompson
Starring: John Mills and Horst Buchholz

A Polish seaman in Cardiff kills his girlfriend and then kidnaps the young girl who witnesses it

The early scenes of this classic crime drama depict Horst Buchholz using the Newport Transporter Bridge and walking past an ex-GWR 5700-series 0-6-0PT and a number of open wagons in Newport Docks. The film is based on the short story Rodolphe et le Revolver, by Noel Calef.

As workers make their way through Newport Docks on foot and on two wheels, some four-wheeled railway wagons are visible, one to the right and a whole line in the far background.
Here we see the title card, complete with GWR Pannier Tank in the background
