Cover for Classic British ThrillersThe Phantom Light (1935)
Michael Powell directed this creepy quota quickie before his success with the Academy Award winning Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes and the cult classic Peeping Tom.

The disappearance of two lighthouse keepers stationed on the desolate coast of Wales is linked to the specter of a rogue beacon that lures freight ships to their destruction on the rocks. Gordon Hacker (Alfred Hitchcock's The Ring) and Binnie Hale (Love From A Stranger) star as bickering sleuths who must solve the mystery of The Phantom Light or become its next victims!

Red Ensign (1934)
This fact-based expose of corruption and sabotage in the British shipping industry is another early work from acclaimed director Michael Powell.

With England's commercial fleet in decline, idealistic shipbuilder David Barr (The Most Dangerous Game's Leslie Banks) conceives a radical new design to revolutionize the industry. Denied capital to proceed by his firm's board of directors, Barr funds the project himself, attracting the support of a beautiful heiress and the attention of a ruthless rival who will stop at nothing, even murder, to obtain Barr's top secret design.

The Upturned Glass (1947)
Before he was a multiple Academy Award nominee, James Nolan (Lolita) starred as a surgeon turned sleuth in this absorbing revenge thriller.

After sparing the eyesight of a young patient, Dr. Michael Joyce falls in love with the girl's grateful mother, Emma Wright (Rosamund John), whose husband has been absent for years. When her man returns unexpectedly, Emma reluctantly ends the affair, only to be killed in a mysterious fall. Using his surgical skills to trace the killer, Michael begins his own investigation but has no intention of handling the murderer over to the police.
