- AnecdotesThe last film made at Ealing Studios, London.
- GaffesWhen a kid try to sell a new car's lamp, the policeman took him back to the junk yard and the lamp is still in car.
Sorry, not a goof. The two lamps on the front of the damaged car are the headlights, or lamps if you prefer. The boy had taken the fog lamp off the car. The fog lamp was a third lamp as may be seen at 34 mins when the collision occurs. The fog lamp is clearly seen on the nearside just above the bumper. When the car is on on the dump, the fog lamp is not there.

Director Charles Frend does a splendid job with THE LONG ARM. He elicits strong performances from the entire cast (headed by the ever reliable Jack Hawkins) and the b&w photography is something to savour. I was fortunate to watch a very good DVD copy, and it brings out street scenes, landmarks of the London and Wales of the 1950s in high quality.
It is a time capsule. THE LONG ARM immediately precedes the "kitchen sink" period of the British cinema which began in the late 1950s, and you can still see very prim and proper behavior by all, young and old.
The script is predictable enough - after all it is half-documentary - but the dialogue keeps it ticking, and it includes some barbed remarks, and humor about marriage, dating, and other social concerns.
It is a well done film but perhaps the single thing that I will remember most vividly from watching it is Ursula Howells, the pretty lady who plays the part of Mrs Gilson, and who donates £5 towards Ian Bannen's widow. How beauty and a veneer of class can deceive...
