The Slasher (aka Cosh Boy)

In postwar London, 16-year-old tough Roy Walsh (James Kenney) found a knack for leading the rest of the neighborhood hooligans in targeting and mugging women. Although he manipulates a lenient juvenile system as readily as his abused girlfriend (Joan Collins), he might be setting himself up for trouble he can’t handle. Controversial-for-its-day social drama also stars Betty Ann Davies, Robert Ayres, Hermione Baddeley, Hermione Gingold; Lewis Gilbert directs. AKA: "Cosh Boy." 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; theatrical trailers.
