Street of Shadows (1953 film)
Street of Shadows is a 1953 British film noir written and directed by Richard Vernon and starring Cesar Romero, Kay Kendall and Edward Underdown. It was shot at the Merton Park Studios in London and on location in the city's West End. The film's sets were designed by the art director George Haslam. It was an early production of Anglo-Amalgamated who had signed a deal with Lippert Pictures who distributed the film in the United States. While much of the company's output at the time were second features, this was a more expensive film aimed at the first feature market.
