  • "" ... Richard Attenborough as the emotionally and physically scarred gang leader Pinky Brown, who courts and marries a local waitress he detests in order to stop her testifying against him." [box cover note]."@en
  • "Rowan Joffe writes and directs this adaptation of Graham Greene's novel. Updating the story from its original 1930s setting to the mid-1960s world of mods and rockers, the film stars Sam Riley as Pinkie Brown, a teenage gangster who seduces and marries young waitress Rose (Andrea Riseborough) after she stumbles upon evidence of a revenge killing carried out by him and his gang. Helen Mirren, John Hurt and Pete Postlethwaite co-star."
  • "Presents a reprint of Graham Greene's 1938 novel about Pinkie Brown, a teenage gangster who tries to establish himself in the Brighton underworld, describing his criminal ambitions, and the events surrounding the murder of corrupt newspaperman, Charles Hale."@en
  • ""A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. Greene's gripping thriller exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on the 'dangerous edge of things'."--Back cover."
  • "Pinkie, the teenage gangster, is devoid of compassion or human feeling, despising weakness of the spirit or of the flesh. Responsible for the razor slashes that killed Kite and also for the death of Hale, he is the embodiment of calculated evil. As a Catholic, however, he is convinced that his retribution does not lie in human hands."@en
  • "The Catholic University of America Speech and Drama Department presents Eric Linden in "Brighton Rock," an original adaptation of Graham Greene's novel by Walter Kerr and Leo Brady, directed by Walter Kerr and Dr. Josephine McGarry Callan, settings and lighting by Ralph Brown."
  • "When Pinkie kills a man during a gang war raging through the underworld of Brighton, he believes he can escape retribution, but is unprepared for Ida Arnold who is determined to avenge a death."@en
  • "Seventeen-year-old boy, embittered by early years of poverty, finds outlet in sadistic cruelty."@en
  • "On the run from Ida who is determined to convict him for murder, Pinkie, a young British gangster, becomes even more dangerous."
  • "This novel is a chilling exposé of violence and gang warfare in the pre-WWII underworld. Pinkie, the teenage gangster, is devoid of compassion or human feeling, despising weakness of the spirit or of the flesh. Responsible for the razor slashes that killed Kite and also for the death of Hale, he is the embodiment of calculated evil. As a Catholic, however, he is convinced that his retribution does not lie in human hands. He is therefore not prepared for Ida Arnold, Hale's avenging angel. Ida, whose allegiance is with life, the here and now, has her own ideas about the circumstances surrounding Hale's death. For the sheer joy of it she takes up the challenge of bringing the infernal Pinkie to an earthly kind of justice."
  • "Set in Brighton among the criminal rabble, the story depicts the tragic career of a 17 year-old boy named Pinkie whose primary ambition is to lead a gang to rival that of the wealthy and established Calleoni."
  • "A Brighton, Hale est employé par un journal pour faire participer les lecteurs à un concours. Il a été tué par Pinkie, un tueur à gages de 17 ans à la tête d'une des bandes organisées de la ville mais tout a été fait pour que la mort paraisse accidentelle."
  • "La seconde (1938) des grandes oeuvres de l'auteur britannique."
  • "'He was ready for more deaths.' Pinkie Brown, a young gangster wielding a razor blade and a bottle vitriol, will kill anyone to stay alive and free. In the first of his major novels, Graham Greene looks into this brutal mind finds there a yearning for repentance. Brighton Rock is both a thriller and the study of soul in torment. Pinkie is hunted down both by Ida, a woman bursting with easy certainties about what is right and wrong, and by a mysterious power of pity and mercy. Set against seaside amusements and race-track protection rackets, this story has become one of the classics of modern literature, mapping out the strange border between holiness and savagery."
  • "In this classic novel of murder and menace, Graham Greene lays bare the soul of a boy of seventeen who stalks Brighton's tawdry boardwalk with apathy on his face and murder in his heart. Pinkie, the boy with death at his fingertips, is not just bad, he worships in the temple of evil, just as his parents worshipped in the house of God. Crime, in his dark mind, is a release so deep and satisfying that he has no need for drink or women or the love of his fellows. He is an astounding character, sinister and fascinating. -- From the cover."
