good ealing fayre
The purpose of films , indeed most media ,is to entertain , inform and possible to educate . When this film was made the primary purpose was to entertain ( I suspect ) . With the passing of the years the primary purpose ,for younger people especially , is now to inform and educate. How life was in Britain 60-70 years ago. Bearing this in mind . this film is excellent in its task. The drabness of this period is faithfully reproducted with excellent acting from Googie Withers and Jack Warner with a good supporting cast .
Not exactly Ealing at its best - but good nevertheless.

Classic Ealing movie from the 1940s!

Rather drab and gloomy 1940s movie with apt title, starring real-life husband and wife of sixty years - Googie Withers and John McCallum (now both aged ninety!)

A star-studded cast here, with some of the best known names in British cinema of the time! A film that can be rather dismal in places, but is brightened by a rather 'dishy' Sydney Tafler, being torn between his wife (Betty Ann Davies) and his 'bit on the side' (played by Susan Shaw)

Rosie (Googie Withers) is now married to a man fifteen years her senior. A previous boyfriend from the wrong side of the law escapes from prison, and turns up on her doorstep on the run. Rosie, with a love re-kindled, takes advantage of her loyal and 'decent' husband, along with some daring chances, and attempts to help the escaped convict. Lots of suspenseful moments in this, and as with several movies made by Googie at around this time, shows her talents with some defying and harsh facets to her character. All heads for tragedy - watch to find out how it all turns out!

Good viewing!
