Terrific version of an Agatha Christie short story. Script adapt . Walter Greenwood's tale of depression, poverty and industrial unrest in Lancashire would never have got past the censors a couple of years earlier, but surprisingly the outbreak of war made the censors less touchy about union activism and prostitution. Deborah Kerr gets the star-making role of the mill girl with only one way out of poverty.
Script adapt .
A department store worker and a piano student fall in love during the daily commute to work. His job at the shop is Scapegoat - he gets fired every time a customer complains. He gets himself sacked for real when she finds his job funny, but soon realises a man must have a decent job if he's going to support a wife. She, meanwhile, finds herself playing the piano for a gang of burglars. This is one of those charmingly amateurish British musicals the 30s produced so well.
