When I was about 15 (1980 or so), I saw a really strange film.
It was a “B” movie, possibly shown before a 
Sinbad film. It was filmed in B&W. It was set in the fifties London. It was a crime film about tracking down a killer who IIRC was a dog. Lots of jokes (above mt 15yo head) about the killer being from Barking and such like.
Did I hallucinte the whole thing, or can someone help me out?
Obsession (1949)
London psychiatrist Clive Riordan, royally fed up with the repeated affairs of his wife Storm, plots a seemingly ‘perfect’ revenge against her latest lover, American Bill Kronin. Catching them in the act, he marches Bill off at gunpoint; and from the viewpoint of Storm and the rest of the world, Bill simply vanishes. But there’s far more to the meticulously worked out plot than Clive’s victims suspect, with the end slowly preparing in his private laboratory. Enter a mild-mannered Scotland Yard man, who seemingly has no clue beyond a missing dog
Police Dog (1955)
When his colleague is killed during a chase in Kentish Town, London bobby Frank volunteers to become a dog-handler. Rex, his new companion, starts to take over his home life more than expected, to the irritation of girl-friend Pat. Frank just hopes the killer will re-appear.

Thanks, but the film was made in 1980 or thereabouts. Just set in the fifties.
Tried inmd, but to no avail - the teeming millions are my only hope 
I don’t know about the film, but I just wanted to say that the word “Brith” in the subject is puzzling me. You did mean “British”, right?
I’m still trying to find out the title of a Dirk Bogarde film where he plays a shrink who is a co-conspirator with a woman in a murder. He feigns temporary insanity and ends up getting permanently committed. Anyone know the title?
I think remember the movie you are talking about. Was it called something like ‘Cry Wolf’? I do remember the Barking joke - a newspaper headline something like “Barking Man Bites Dog”.
I saw the movie before The Empire Strikes Back.

Me, too. Is it a typo or a slang term for “British”? I’ve seen “Brit” but not “Brith”.
Sorry about “Brith” - guess my spilling is nut god
Ticker - glad I didn’t make the whole thing up, but still no closer to finding out what the durn thing was called
