We adore this original 1964 photo collage Polish poster design by Maciej Hibner. He designed this vintage film poster for the Polish cinema release of British film ‘Flame in the Streets’ (Ognie na Ulicach) directed by Roy Baker and starring John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Brenda De Banzie, Earl Cameron and Johnny Sekka.

The film is set in the burgeoning West Indian community of post-war Britain and racial tensions rise at home, work and on the streets during bonfire night. We only wish more had changed since its release.

In his autobiography, The Director's Cut (2000), Roy Baker said the film had recently been shown at a Brixton cinema "to mark the 50th anniversary of the arrival in Britain of the steamer Windrush, bringing Caribbeans to work here. ... Some of the older ones [in the audience] testified that it was a true picture of the conditions the incomers faced and in some areas still do face."
