Brighton Rock Film LocationBrighton Rock charts the headlong fall of Pinkie, a razor-wielding disadvantaged teenager with a religious death wish.

Filmed mainly as the title suggests in Brighton, Brighton Rock has some crucial scenes filmed in London including the scene where young criminal Pinkie Brown gets his first taste of freedom with a stolen Lambretta Scooter outside the Regency Cafe located in Pimlico.

Rowan Joffe's remake of Brighton Rock perfectly captures the end of an era, and the Regency Cafe art deco look suits the films tone.
