5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable story beautifully told!, October 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tiger Bay (DVD)
I first saw this movie at Goose Bay AFB in Labrador on a cold winter's night at the base theatre. I had no idea what was being shown, nor had any of the other GI's who attended that evening. Near the end of the film there is a particularly exciting moment and the entire audience - well over a thousand guys! - gasped with astonishment! At the end there was applause and shouts of "Great movie!" Several of us followed the movie as it wound its way to the many theatres on the air base, and we took others who hadn't seen it who were also deeply moved by the story. Over the years, now on video tape and DVD (Hurrah!) this "little" movie never fails to deliver its huge emotional impact. Hayley Mills (pre-Disney) and Horst Buchholz (pre-Magnificent Seven) will break your heart and then restore it. A truly great motion picture, one once discovered is never forgotten! If you haven't seen it you are missing one of the all-time classic films!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Own Movie, June 12, 2001
By 
M "ireland19" (Lighthouse Pt, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tiger Bay (DVD)
Tiger Bay takes place in Cardiff, Wales. An 11 year old girl is the only witness to a murder of a woman by her sailor boyfriend. The child is followed after the murder to a church, where she sings in the choir. After the service the murderer corners the child in the church. A confrontation ensues. This was the acting debut of Hayley Mills on whose shoulders rest the core of the movie. Her father John Mills plays the police inspector who tries to discern the truth from the child. Horst Buchholz is the sailor who committed the murder. This is one of the finest films you are ever likely to see.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affecting Movie of Subtle Truths, January 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tiger Bay (DVD)
You'll remember this movie - in part because of the imaginative details it employs, in part because it is entirely outside any "formula". It has a suspenseful plot, but it also has so many smaller qualities of truthfulness about children and the ways adults interact with them and accept or don't accept them.

I don't know why the British do this so very well - think of The Fallen Idol or Whistle Down the Wind (also with Hayley Mills) which are also wonderful. These three movies let you observe the children and don't push things down your throat. Almost all the characters in these three movies are sympathetic, yet in sharp conflict.

The direction and editing are first-rate, the performances by all are excellent, the plot is exciting.
