The film includes a romance of sorts, one that is entirely one-sided, and it may have been the inspiration for this Queen song,The lyric concerns a ill fated fated romance between two young lovers named Jenny and Jimmy meeting in Brighton on a public holiday. Jenny cannot linger because she is afraid her mother will find out "how I spent my holiday", but afterwards "writes a letter every day" Jimmy, eager on the day, is not so happy with her "nothing can my love erase": now he is the one afraid of discovery by "my lady". The movie was based on a novel by Graham Greene and starred Richard Attenborough in the title role as a sinister and totally ruthless teen gangster. Inspiration for 'Brighton rock' may have come from a film of the same name, a low budget British thriller released in 1947. Opening the 'sheer heart attack' album, 'Brighton rock' was written by guitarist Brian May. The title is something of a pun: Brighton rock is a long, cylindrical sugar candy traditional to that seaside resort.
