" Brighton Rock" is a 1947 British film based on the novel of the same name by Graham Greene. Centring on the activities of a gang of assorted criminals and, in particular, their leader - a vicious young hoodlum known as "Pinkie" - the film's main thematic concern is the criminal underbelly evident in inter-war Brighton.

Greene and Terence Rattigan wrote the screenplay for the 1947 film adaptation, produced and directed by John and Roy Boulting, with assistant director Gerald Mitchell. The film starred Richard Attenborough as Pinkie, Carol Marsh as Rose, William Hartnell as Dallow, and Hermione Baddeley as Ida. The climax of the film takes place at the Palace Pier, which differs from the novel, the end of which takes place in the nearby town of Peacehaven. The film is considered one of the most successful British films noir. In the United States, the film was released under the title "Young Scarface".
