Reviews:

A nostalgic movie, brightened by scenes of London’s blitzed buildings, before developers began to pour unsightly concrete.
I found a copy of this movie in my local (Phoenix, Arizona) used book store. Ah, bliss! The sights of old London, albeit somewhat bomb-damaged, before the developers started to build ugly tower blocks. The movie itself is excellent, with good characterization for the ‘kids’, although Jack Warner’s role as the villain seems a little overblown. Alistair Sim’s role as the nervous author of comic books is an excellent vignette, showing his trademark nervous twitchy smile. The final chase and confrontation, at “Ballard’s Wharf”, reputedly in Wapping, was actually filmed on the opposite side of the river, as can be scene in the long shots, where St. Paul’s cathedral can be seen.

Fun adventure with period charm
HUE AND CRY is the first of the classic comedies made by Ealing Studios although the comedy is in short supply here as this becomes more of a juvenile detective/adventure story involving a group of kids thwarting a gang of crooks who plan their next jobs using a serialised story in a comic. It sounds far-fetched and it is, but at the same time it’s a lot of riotous fun.

Overall, HUE AND CRY feels much like one of the classic Enid Blyton detective stories, except done with a harder edge. Indeed, there’s quite a bit of action here in the form of fisticuffs and chase scenes and it’s quite hard-hitting despite the protagonists being kids. The plot is fast-paced and engaging and the film evokes a wonderful sense of place as we see the kids playing in the post-war bombed out ruins that littered British cities during the era. As ever, Alastair Sim contributes a memorable supporting role.
