Hayley Mills | Tiger Bay (1959) Classic Crime Drama Full Movie | 1960 BAFTA-Winning Film



A young Polish seaman walks eagerly through Tiger Bay to visit Anya, the woman he wishes to marry.

Rough-and-tumble street urchin Gillie (Hayley Mills) witnesses the brutal killing of a young woman at the hands of visiting Polish sailor Korchinsky (Horst Buchholz). Instead of reporting the crime to the authorities, Gillie merely pockets a prize for herself — Korchinsky’s shiny black revolver — and flees the scene. When Welsh Detective Graham (John Mills) discovers that Gillie has the murder weapon, the fiery young girl weaves a web of lies to throw him off course.

  1. There are only two films which I remember from my childhood and take me back ,Tiger Bay and Whitsle down the wind, childhood was so magical then, unlike now children grow up quickly.

  2. In case people didn't know, Bronek is probably going to get the death penalty. It was standard in the UK as a punishment for murder up until the 1960s. Him saving Gillie has cost him his life. No wonder the cop called him brave.

  3. I have always liked Hayley Mills, and am watching this because of her role in this movie-and ty reviewers, it helps as well. Thank you Retrospective for all of your time, and posting worthwhile movies, of all genres. Something for everyone.

  4. SUCH A CLASSIC….AMAZING ACTORS..ONE OF HAYLEY'S BEST…STILL..
    PARENT TRAP IS ALSO ONE MOVIE YOU CAN NEVER FORGET
