Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "Mechanical Types" played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne are not one pair of characters, but several different roles, working on trains, buses, aeroplanes, in cinemas and as watchmakers.
- GoofsThe aircraft used is shown in exterior shots to be a civil version of the Halifax bomber, but the lavish interior of the fuselage appears to be much too wide for that type, and the big square windows shown in interior shots are not present on the exterior. In fact, the aircraft shown in exteriors, G-AKEC, appears to have been used for freight, not for passengers.
- Quotes
Jennifer Peters: Why do you Scotsmen leave your country if you're so fond of it.
Jock Melville: Someone's got to civilise the world. Surely you realise Scotland's chief exports are brains and whiskey.
Featured review
I need to comment on myriamlenys' review: The opening scenes were filmed in Finchingfield, a village near here. I have lived most of my 75 years in the area and can assure you that so soon after the war things were very run down and backward. It would be surprising if there were more than two cars in the area (e.g. local doctor), very few tractors (still horses), few radios and certainly no TV; a bus perhaps once a week, few strangers. The village is now a tourist honeypot and people even have mobile phones, which would not have lasted long with Jennifer around!
