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.

Fine Little Film

An almost anthology film about a set of characters as they navigate towards and win during a derby. One set, is about a young help who went in as a replacement of her injured boss and meet a semi-famous actor, two elderly bettors and a lover trying to outrun the crime they did.

A noteworthy film that blends multiple genres into one sweeping working film AND clocking below 90 mins too. The acting was just enough to fill the gaps but the main plot about the maid and the semi-famous actor was delightfully done. The other main subplot about the murder is a a bit lackluster but provides enough spice for the film to be more than your everyday fluff.

Overall, a noteworthy film.
