Street Corner

The film is about the daily work of women police officers. In form it is fiction that imitates documentary. The account carries three separate stories along together. Ordinary station business, patrols and reports of missing people make up the main flow. How the women see the job, and the prejudice they meet, are inside the account as well. The film presents them neither as heroes nor as exceptions. It is one of the few British films of 1953 made by a woman director. The ninety four minutes are shared out among three stories. Anne Crawford, Peggy Cummins and Rosamund John appear in Muriel Box’s British film, completed in 1953.
