This film is one of the best films I have seen in 2013. It is a film made in 1959 - but I think the subject-matter is timeless. I believe that the film really explains a deep meaning about how society works. Here hierarchy and social injustices seem to go hand in hand like a tea cup and a tea pot. I wish that society was kinder to human beings. I wish that the world had more empathy and understanding and at the same time I love the lead characters take on humanity in the movie. He seemed to have compassion for both the victim and the perpetrators. Is this quality what makes humanity hopeful out of all the gloom. It is the lead characters resilience and ethics that makes humanity worth believing in. Nigel Patrick as the detective in charge of the investigation is such a nice man that he does transcend the bitterness within the world he lives and works in. This is his existentialism. And perhaps that is really what the movie is about - a pure form of existentialism. The fact that standing up and holding ones beliefs - no matter what the cause and no matter what the outcome. This is the most courageous part of humanity.
I love how the movie ends, here is part of the dialogue: X: "cases don't get solved without someone getting hurt -" X: "you know that."
Y: "We didn't solve anything Phil. We just picked up the pieces."
