The Green Cockatoo (also known as Four Dark Hours and Race Gang) is a 1937 British drama film directed by William Cameron Menzies and starring John Mills, Rène Ray, and Robert Newton. It was adapted by Ted Barkman from a story by Graham Greene and shot at Denham Studios. It tells the story of an innocent young woman who arrives in London looking for work and, pursued by both criminals and police, is involved in a headlong series of fights and flights.

An innocent young woman arrives in London looking for work and walks into an ambush, in which gangsters knife an accomplice who has cheated them. The wounded man staggers with her to a cheap hotel, where he dies after begging her to tell his brother at The Green Cockatoo club. Going there, she is followed by the police and hides in an upstairs room. It is Jim's, the brother, but he does not identify himself to the stranger ...

"Because London is full of inequity; lecherous men, strange women, robbers, thieves, gamblers!"
