Tiger Bay
J. Lee Thompson directed this 1959 thriller about the unlikely friendship between a young tomboy played by Hayley Mills and a sailor who’s wanted for murder played by Horst Buchholz. This was Hayley’s first film and her father John (also her co-star) said “She looked as if she’d been born in front of a camera.” Truer words were never spoken, her remarkably unaffected performance caught the eye of Walt Disney and the rest is movie history.
