Synopsis:The article sets out to analyse the textual strategies of two films which are recognisable in terms of conventional genres (a 'whodunit' and a 'melodrama'), but which also demonstrate a documentary impulse as picture essays on aspects of London life. "Sapphire", made in 1959 after the Notting Hill riots of 1958, addresses the issue of colour prejudice.
