- C1sc0cat 7y agoWhen I first read it I wasn't aware that some of my relatives by marriage where off course bookies in Birmingham Pre WW2 and post. They would have known the gangsters that Brighton rock uses as the base for some of the characters. One of my cousins who is an actor has actually appeared in a theatre version of Brighton Rock. BTW this was when off course book making was illegal in the UK
