Brighton Rock was first produced in 1947, starring Richard Attenborough. It was shot entirely in the city of Brighton and its surrounding area and continues to be a classic piece of the British cinema. A small-town gangster, Pinkie Brown has a gang that manages a protection racket found in Brighton race course. The murder of a rival gang member generated a twist of events that involved two women- a naïve waitress, Rose who captured the heart of Brown. Ida is the other woman investigating the murder case. The other version of Brighton Rock produced in 2010 is a movie from the classic novel of Graham Greene. According to different opinions, this 2010 Brighton Rock version doesn’t measure up to its 1947 original version. The newer version story filmed in 1960s Brighton sees the Rockers and Mods going head to head at Brighton Pier and on the seafront. The movie production in reality largely happened in Eastbourne and Eastbourne pier filled in for Brighton Pier. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
My Accomplice

This film was a low-budget and fully independent production without a studio or funding. Set in Brighton, this idiosyncratic comedy film about falling in love shows different features of the city’s landmarks and streets, as well as many performances from local bands. It is a film that has shown accurate scenes about the city and was as much realistic as it was possible. The two main characters weren’t supposed to meet, as they were from different backgrounds, and the city full of vulnerable adults wouldn’t make it easier. Produced in 2014 and directed by Charlie Weaver Rolfe, My Accomplice also covers significant themes like the Bulgarians, flapjacks, learning disabilities, and David Hasselhoff.
