😸
Edition screened: Included in Criterion Eclipse Series 25: Basil Dearden’s London Underground 4-DVD set, released 2010. English language. Runtime approximately 92 minutes.
Summary: No particular depictions of violence or harm to animals.
Sapphire is a compelling murder mystery hinging on mid-century British race relations, but typical for Dearden, he departs from the usual anemic British hand wringing.
