Uncommon card · No. 181782

Sapphire is a 1959 British crime drama film directed by Basil Dearden and starring Nigel Patrick, Yvonne Mitchell, Michael Craig, and Paul Massie. A progressive film for its time, it focuses on racism in London toward immigrants from the West Indies, and explores the "underlying insecurities and fears of ordinary people" about those of another race. Producer Michael Relph later said "it looks dated now because of the changes in race relations since then, but it was a good film at the time. It was very successful in America."
