Duke of York’s Centenary: Brighton On Screen (2010)

With its seedy glamour and kiss-me-quick thrills, spivs and backstreet gangsters, Brighton has played many starring roles on the cinema screen. To complement the Duke of York’s centenary we presented a season of Brighton-set films many rarely seen on the big screen.
