Three by Dearden

League of Gentlemen (1960) - Very enjoyable bank heist movie. Jack Hawkins has never been better. 
Victim (1961) - Dirk Bogarde shines as a Gay closeted Lawyer battling a blackmailer preying on the Gay community. Well done and interesting even though a bit dated. 
All Night Long (1962) - Based on "Othello" a party of Jazz musicians turns nasty. More or less a filmed play. Not bad but the lack of charisma in the supporting actors hurts it. Charles Mingus and Dave Brubeck make brief appearances and show why they chose Jazz over acting.
