The Long Memory (1952)

The Long Memory is a black and white 1953 film directed by Robert Hamer and based on the 1951 novel of the same name by Howard Clewes. A crime thriller filmed on the North Kent Marshes on the Thames Estuary and the dingy backstreets of Gravesend (now long since demolished), its bleak setting and grim atmosphere have led to its acclaim as a British example of film noir.
