Sympathetic Murderer: Bronek murders his ex-lover in a jealous moment of passion, and kidnaps the only witness, but is also a Friend to All Children who strikes up an Intergenerational Friendship with his hostage and exhibits genuine remorse. It helps that he eventually saves Gillie from drowning, even though this allows the police to apprehend him. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Tiger Bay / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Gillie tries to explain that she's late for choir due to the police investigation, but the priest naturally assumes this is one of her tall tales. The police are reluctant to listen to Christine, a prostitute, when she tries to tell them about her encounter with Bronislav. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Tiger Bay / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Bronek assaults and murders his ex-lover in a rage, but is clearly remorseful the moment she falls to the floor. When he kidnaps Gillie in the church, he prays before an image of the Virgin for forgiveness "for what I have done . . and what I now am doing". | |

Precocious Crush | |
| Tiger Bay / int_d3beb0de | comment |
Precocious Crush: Hayley Mills admitted being besotted with Horst Buchholz during filming. How much of that spills over into the movie is open to interpretation. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Tiger Bay / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Mrs Phillips hardly ever stops scolding Gillie, but she clearly cares for her and she indulges her tomboy behaviour, even though she finds it incomprehensible. Also Superintendent Graham. | |

| Tiger Bay / int_dfe687c9 | comment |
Alone with the Psycho: Gillie, being locked into the church alone with Bronek. Turns out he is not such a bad company after all. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Tiger Bay / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Zig Zagged in one scene. During the Bronek and Anya's argument, the dialogue switches between Polish and English, illustrating Gillie's perspective, and their own. | |

Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder | |
| Tiger Bay / int_e67ff203 | comment |
Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Anya grows tired of waiting for Bronislav, and finds herself a new beau - which is what leads Bronek to kill her in a moment of passion. | |

Wait Here | |
| Tiger Bay / int_ea382fea | comment |
Wait Here: Bronek says this to Gillie twice. However, as Gillie is 11 years old, the first time she wanders off to play by the river. The second time, she is discovered by the police. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| Tiger Bay / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Arguable, but Bronek would gotten away scot-free if he had let Gillie drown. Instead he chooses to save her, and brings her (and himself) straight to the waiting arms of the police. | |
