No Trees in the Street (1959)
De film, gebaseerd op het toneelstuk van Ted Willis, speelt zich af in de jaren vóór de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen Engeland nog niet volledig hersteld was van de mondiale depressie. Tommy wordt geïntroduceerd als een doelloze tiener die probeert te ontsnappen aan zijn ellendige leven. Hij ontmoet de plaatselijke misdadiger Wilkie, die de rest van de sloppenwijk bewoners in angst houdt, inclusief Tommy's eigen familie. De film beschrijft Tommy's ontwikkeling van geldroof naar moord.
