[quote]Storyline
In 1950s London racial hostility to Commonweath immigrants is openly paraded. A pregnant girl, initially assumed to be white, is murdered. As two detectives start to investigate, and discover her racial origins were much more mixed, public prejudices and those of the officers themselves are exposed.
Written by Jeremy Perkins <jwp@aber.ac.uk> [/quote][quote]Sapphire (d. Basil Dearden, 1959) is a graphic portrayal of ethnic tensions in 1950s London, much more widespread and malign than was represented in Dearden's Pool of London (1951), eight years earlier. The film presents a multifaceted and frequently surprising portrait that involves not just "the usual suspects", but is able to reveal underlying insecurities and fears of ordinary people. Sapphire is also notable for showing a successful, middle-class black community - unusual even in today's British films.
Dearden deftly manipulates tension with the drip-drip of revelations about the murdered girl's life. Sapphire is at first assumed to be white, so the appearance of her black brother Dr Robbins (Earl Cameron) is genuinely astonishing, provoking involuntary reactions from those he meets, and ultimately exposing the real killer. Small incidents of civility and kindness, such as that by a small child on a scooter to Dr Robbins, add light to a very dark film.
Earl Cameron reprises a role for which he was famous, of the decent and dignified black man, well aware of the burden of his colour. His character is in stark contrast to the gangster caricature of Horace Big Cigar (Robert Adams), or the violent presence of Johnnie Fiddle (Harry Baird). Gordon Heath, a star of stage and screen, gives a scene-stealing performance as dandy Paul Slade.
Despite his intelligent handling of the issues, Dearden is not immune to prevailing prejudices, equating a young woman living alone in London with promiscuity, and seeing an enthusiasm for jazz as evidence of dubious character. The film is littered with casual, unchallenged racism: sexy petticoats found in Sapphire's room are evidence of "the black under the white". A landlady justifies evicting Sapphire by saying "Would you be pleased, Inspector, if someone gave you a brass sovereign?"
It is easy to criticise attitudes from a distant past. Sapphire was made shortly after the 1958 Notting Hill riots. The film was also on the cusp of the more permissive 60s. As such it is a cultural and social litmus of the age. Though critic Nina Hibbin writing about Sapphire in the Daily Worker (9 May 1959) expected more from a director signed up to the liberal cause:
"You can't fight the colour bar merely by telling people it exists. You have to attack it, with passion and conviction. Commit yourself up to the hilt. Otherwise you're in danger of fanning the flames"’

Language : English Muchas gracias a arch stanton por la traducción y a renfield por indicar la existencia de dichos subtítulos.
me permito dejar una versión revisada de los subs. La traducción de arch stanton es perfecta. Sólo puse acentos (cómo, dónde, cuándo, etc., dentro de las interrogaciones), levanté un par de errores de tipeo (Scotland Yark por Scotland Yard, etc.), cambié el tiempo verbal en dos conjugaciones porque confundían el desarrollo de la trama (hablaban de futuro cosas que eran del pasado) y modifiqué tres expresiones coloquiales que, a mi entender, estaban mal traducidas y también generaban confusión.
