The Rainbow Jacket (1954)
Director: Basil Dearden
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The first collaboration between Dearden and TEB Clarke after The Blue Lamp follows the career of a middle-aged jockey (Owen) who, having forfeited his own career by taking a bribe, lives again through the success of a young protegé (Edmonds), whom he rescues from corruption at the vital moment. Despite its intriguing subject, the film offers little but the cosy, sentimental view of life that is typical of late Ealing films.Author: PH
