    Interesting Tale about Immigration

    This is an interesting tale, released at a time when immigration was on the agenda as never before. The action takes place in and around Heathrow, as well as in the seamier suburbs of London, and involved a young blonde murdered, with suspicion descending on her landlady's son (the 'stateless man' of the title.)
