ReviewsTotal Film - The result still works as a study of submerged passions bubbling into madness, especially in an action-filled climax enlivened further in this version by Neil BrandÆs dramatic new score., Cine Vue - It's all glued together by the excellent characterisation and plot that rattles along with pleasing pace and gentle comic interludes.
Consumer AdviceContains mild violence and threat and scenes of smoking
Additional InformationThe BFI's acclaimed restoration of Anthony Asquith's silent film UNDERGROUND tells the triangular story of a young shop girl named Nell (Elissa Landi) and the two men who find themselves in love with her. One of these is Bill (Brian Aherne), a porter for London's underground; the other is Bert (Cyril MgLaglen), who works as an electrician at a power station. Nell chooses Bill for her love, but Bert does not take kindly to this news. He convinces his mistress, Kate (Norah Baring), to lie and pretend that Bill attacked her. Nell knows that this couldn't be true; she confronts Kate, who admits that Bert forced her to act in this way. Angry and with no further use for her, Bert breaks off totally with Kate, who then finds Bill and asks him to please take her to the power station so she can beg Bert to take her back. Bert loses his temper and kills Kate, then runs off to hide in the underground, pursued by Bill.
