The Boys (1962)
A beautifully-shot, surprisingly gripping little gem

I came across this film channel-hopping late one night and got instantly hooked, partly by wondering how the writer might twist the courtroom action but mainly for the fabulous B/W images of working class London in the era between the dreary 50s and the swinging 60s.
Well worth watching, too, for a sterling cast of British troupers, as well as a genuinely unexpected ending.
And good, too, to see some political awareness slipped into the action with its portrayal of working-class Londoners, as well as an acknowledgement of boredom - not many many films are brave enough to show their characters genuinely trying to deal with boredom!
