Review of Gumshoe

Gumshoe (1971)
6/10
Snap shot of Late sixties / early seventies Liverpool
5 December 2006
I didn't think much of this movie when I first saw it some years back. However it has certainly grown on me. As other comments say it is something of a CULT movie. Good cast of actors (national & local) An interesting facet for me is the locations in my hometown of Liverpool. The docks (looks like South end docks to me), Lime St station, Faulkner Square & Bedford Street (both in Toxteth) It shows how bleak the parts of Liverpool were back in the late sixties & early seventies. They bear no comparison to the areas today, which are fairly vibrant. I am sure the Night Club in this film was the Castaways club in Halebank Widnes, by the now defunct Ditton Junction station.
