British Noir Double Feature – The Slasher/Twilight Women

The Slasher (Cosh Boy): A swift moving, no punches pulled exposé set in London’s tenement district, with a ruthless teenager (James Kenney, reprising his stage role) blackjacking an old woman to get her purse, and “graduating” to gang leader whose young cutthroats spread terror over the entire city.

Twilight Women (Women of Twilight, Another Chance): Originating on the London stage, this hard-hitting tale is set at a boarding house-haven for unmarried mothers, owned by a woman whose outward show of upstanding character hides her true personality: a fiend who abuses the women and farms out their babies!
