Noose

Noose (released in the United States as The Silk Noose) is a 1948 British crime film, directed by Edmond T. Gréville and starring Carole Landis, Joseph Calleia, and Derek Farr. It was shot at Teddington Studios with sets designed by the art director Bernard Robinson. Plot Set in the then contemporary post-war London, Noose is the story of black market racketeers who face attempts to bring them to justice by an American fashion journalist, her ex-army fiancé and a gang of honest toughs from a local gym. The normally gentlemanly and urbane Nigel Patrick is cast as a cockney spiv. The gangs hang around Bason's Gymnasium and Sugiani's nightclub, The Blue Moon. Sugiani has worked his way up from the gutter since arriving in Britain from Italy.
