Both Sides of the Law(1953)

剧情简介

The daily work and routine of women police built around three story lines. The first involves an 18-year-old girl who is picked up for shoplifting. The second story tells of a female deserter who becomes involved in bigamy. The third is about a baby who is mistreated by its father and step-mother, but is reunited, through police work, with its mother. 　　Muriel Box and her husband Sydney Box were regarded as one of the best script teams of the 40s, before Muriel Box turned her attention to directing. With STREET CORNER, her third feature, she made a central work of British post-war cinema, which tells the story of the everyday work of female police officers in London in semi-documentary form. In three gripping episodes, she sings an ode to modern, self-confident women. British actress Peggy Cummins plays one of the leading roles, who had already sparkled three years previously in Gun Crazy by Joseph H. Lewis, one of the key works of American film noir.
