Trivia
Brian Johnston has said that his interview was completely unscripted apart from the final question, which was integral to the plot.

Goofs
Lady Helen insists on going to the Derby even though her husband died just three weeks before, and she knows that her behavior is considered shocking. Two men ask why she is going and she refuses to say. Finally she reveals that her late husband had a horse in the Derby, so she is there to watch it run. This is hardly a discreditable reason, so it is puzzling that she is so secretive. Nor could the fact be kept secret, as she would be publicly listed as the owner, and she must be well known in the racing community. Indeed, when the horse wins, everyone around her in the owners' box applauds, so they must know that she is its owner.

Quotes
David Scott: When you talk about people who are dead in some strange way you bring them back again.

Run Their Course

This was the last of one of the most successful series of films in British cinemas history.By the time they made this film both Be able and Wilding were a bit long in the tooth.They were given the least uninteresting and most maudlin of the stories in this portmanteau film.Withers and Mccallum seem to be reprising past roles.Gordon Harker and Gladys Henson play a comment cab driver and his wife going to the Derby for the first time.A film star is won in a raffle and accompanies a French girl.There are a lot of jokes about the film industry.The film is very old fashioned and some of the attitudes are wince inducing.However over all it is still fairly entertaining.
