Splendid film showing how a small action by one person can cause huge consequences to others, the butterfly effect basically.
Besides the plots, what is most enjoyable in British films of this period is trying to recognise the locations and seeing the wonderful old vehicles used. This, together with spotting the character actors especially those uncredited, makes for a thoroughly entertaining hour or two. This is an entertaining film with good cast and well paced. Susan Shaw always looks stunning and it is sad that the death of her husband caused her to drink and subsequently die at an early age. Freddie Mills is always good value but also had a tragic end in real life.
Filmed mainly around Uxbridge High Street, Windsor Street and Tube Station together with some footage of Station Parade, Beaconsfield and Hyde Park Place, it is fascinating to see how places have changed over the years. This is not always for the best.
The vehicles involved include a rather nice Bentley R Type, Drop Head Coupe which is still extant albeit with new paintwork, a Hillman Husky which probably rusted away completely very quickly as that model was prone to do and a wonderful Standard Flying 14 which I would love to have owned.
Altogether well worth watching.
