The Blue Lamp
Also known as Blue Lamp
1950 film by Basil Dearden
Film · TMDB
6.6P.C. George Dixon is a long-serving traditional copper who is due to retire shortly. He takes a new recruit under his aegis and introduces him to the easy-going night beat. Dixon is a classic ordinary hero but also anachronistic, unprepared and unable to answer the violence of the 1950s.
