Tiger Bay is a 1959 British film, starring John Mills, his daughter Hayley Mills in her first important film role, and Horst Buchholz.
Shot on location in the Tiger Bay district of Cardiff, and Newport (specifically Newport Transporter Bridge, 12 miles from Cardiff) it features many authentic scenes of the children's street culture, and the black street culture, of the time. It also features many dockside shots, scenes in real pubs and in the countryside that surrounds the area. The movie marks a vital transitional moment in the move towards the British New Wave cinema exemplified a few years later by A Taste of Honey (1961).
Plot summary
Gillie, a young girl in Cardiff who is something of a tearaway, happens to witness Korchinsky, a Polish seaman, murder his girlfriend. In spite of this the two become friends. Korchinsky almost escapes on a merchant ship, but is pursued by Superintendent Graham, who boards his ship while just inside British waters, accompanied by Gillie as a witness.Cast
