Brighton Rock (1948 film) Brighton Rock (1948 film) Brighton Rock is a 1948 British gangster film noir directed by John Boulting and starring Richard Attenborough as violent gang leader Pinkie Brown (reprising his breakthrough West End creation of the character some three years earlier), Carol Marsh as the innocent girl he marries, and Hermione Baddeley as an amateur sleuth investigating a murder he committed. The film was adapted from the 1938 novel "Brighton Rock" by Graham Greene, and was produced by Roy Boulting through the Boulting brothers' production company Charter Film Productions. It was later released in the United States under the title "Young
Three Days to Never works in Powers' wily storytelling logic." Comparing parts of the novel to C. S. Lewis's "That Hideous Strength", Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time", and the writings of John le Carré, Graham Greene and Len Deighton, science fiction author John Shirley wrote, "The ride we take in this marvelous novel is glorious and gripping. And if we have a mind-bending panoply of the fantastic to absorb, we feel privileged to pay the price of entry — we accept it all as being part of the 'physics of the metaphysics' of the grimly glorious Powers universe."
