THE REMAKE of Brighton Rock may be being filmed on Eastbourne prom, but cinema lovers have the chance to see the original at Hailsham Pavilion on November 10 (7.30pm).
This unsparing, brutal look at the British criminal underbelly stars Richard Attenborough as Pinkie Brown, a pock-marked gang leader.
While leading his men in a racetrack robbery, Pinkie kills a man. He convinces pretty waitress Rose (Carol Marsh) to provide him with an alibi, promising to marry her in exchange. After the wedding, the sociopathic Pinkie conducts a slow and careful campaign to drive his young wife to suicide.
