Pool of London is a 1951 British noir crime film directed by veteran director Basil Dearden. It stars several actors today mainly known for comedies, such as Leslie Phillips and James Robertson Justice. It is also Earl Cameron's first film appearance; the first time a black actor had a major role in British film.
The story centres on the crew of the merchant ship Dunbar, which docks in the Pool of London. The crew members are given shore leave, and soon become involved in smuggling and petty crime in post-war London. The film is mainly known for portraying the first interracial relationship in a British film.
