In the west end of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after the film’s Hollywood director is murdered. When work-weary inspector Stoppard (Sam Rokwell) and eager rookie constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theatre underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril. Tom George directs this satirical detective film where Church’s shoes were the perfect choice for the retro wardrobe and rich scenes, whether traditional lace-ups or charming brogues. The cast includes Adrien Brody, Ruth Wilson, Reece Shearsmith, Harris Dickinson, and David Oyelowo. In cinemas from September 9th.
