Where to watch The Blue Lamp (1950) tonight

The Blue Lamp (1950) runs 1 h 24 min and averages 6.6 from 64 TMDB members. P.C. George Dixon is a long-serving traditional copper who is due to retire shortly. He takes a new recruit under his aegis and introduces him to the easy-going night beat. Dixon is a classic ordinary hero but also anachronistic, unprepared and unable to answer the violence of the 1950s.
