Gumshoe
This brilliant feature debut from director Stephen Frears (My Beautiful Laundrette) is an affectionate - and uniquely British - tribute to the Hollywood detective movies of the 1940s.
The great Albert Finney stars as a Liverpool bingo caller who dreams of being a private eye and then finds himself suddenly contacted for what appears to be an actual piece of detective work.
First released: Monday 19th March 2018
