He probably stank of tobacco and booze,a revolting thing from the depths of the lower Thames.

To me referring to these as “B” movies was an insult because the actors were always “A” quality.

For the British film industry in 1952, I think this was more than a "B-film"

She played Toddy in that lovely film The Way to the stars.

@@keithharvey7230 Yes, that is such an awesome movie. So many interesting actors, you can follow most of their careers and see other great films. You might like Double Confession also, if you haven't already seen it.

@Ourladyrules Have you any others to recommend?

@@crose7412 Accused (1936) and Action For Slander (1937) are both very good vintage British films , i enjoyed them very much 🎥😀

@@crose7412 Inquest, 1939 is also another great film, well worth seeing. hope these suggestions help. enjoy 🎥

Typical 1952 ending. After years of studying then ruination of her career, woman suddenly becomes happy to marry man she doesn't really want to marry.. Both live happy ever after!

My sentiments exactly.

@@phyllisbrunskill4250 ... both live happily ever after whenever possible.

@@phyllisbrunskill4250 She brought it all on herself due to hubris!

British actresses.Rona Anderson,Virginia Maskell,Yvonne Mitchell,Helen Cherry,Virginia Mckenna.Hollywood can keep Marilyn,Ava and Rita.

gary... they don't know who to look presentable...... because women have become lazy: A mediocre looking woman in my era, knew how to attend to her flaws, and do something about it: to be pretty: Today, women have not been taught how to act like a lady, a woman,,and to be attractive with little expense: Once you teach yourself to be tidy with yr hair, teeth skin, clothes and yr shoes:

I fell for her when I saw The Way to the Stars.

That was a great film too!

She played Toddy in that wonderful film The Way to the Stars.Have a box of Kleenex handy

Despite the cabbages.

@@pinkbeautytwinkle that's right!

@anombrerose6311 Guy Middleton was also a superb copper in 'The Third Visitor' which is also available on KZfaq.

LOL & Laughing my fat fanny off! You're absolutely correct. Reminded me of what my ex-husband would retort whenever I would say, "What is that awful smell?" Your upper lip. Now, whenever I see Sinclair, I'm gonna get the giggles thinking his upper lip smells!

Brian Evans, I agree. Joan Fontaine ALWAYS looked like she was smelling something dreadful, too!!!! 😂😂😂

@@sheristewart3940 Hi there, Thanks for the reply, and I'm glad it made you laugh.

@@kayhathaway6956 Hi there. Now you mention it, I can see just what you mean and thanks for the laugh.

​@@sheristewart3940lol!!!!!

Good point, well made.

Gosh, l haven't though of that... clever!

They already do call themselves KC's -- no need to wait for the coronation. Their title changed immediately Charles became King, on the death of Queen Elizabeth.

@cristinaborger83 She was a barrister, K.C.!

A lot may depend upon which shore or beach you wash up on. i wouldn't say all drifters have no ambitions or focus. They are not all Zombies. Some drift as they cut their moorings for any of a number of reasons. Society it self drifted apart after the 1940s war when 2 different sets of values emerged with the older generation who had been through the war thinking they could no longer understand their children because their children had never known or seen what those who survived had seen.

I noticed you didn't change things for the better. When you say 'your lot' You could be referring to the Rockers hurling deck chairs about on Brighton beach and thinking that was the sort of rebellious change which was right for Brighton. You could have been a Greaser, Mod, spive, Beatnic or Bethenal Green Gangster.Or were you a young Tory and therefore you thought you changed things but instead of change you were only changing the narrative of pupupets on a stage. It wasn't your lot who changed the monarch in february '52 from George Vi to Lizaseth II. I guess not. So what were those supposed changes your lot thought they made, Sir. And when did you make them. Because later in the fifties people were still using the hand mangle to squish out water from their washing and going to the outside karzi to read the old news of yesterdays gone by. It was hardly accent in my opinion. But gramma. In terms of success and popularity the accents which were raising to popularappeal were the Liverpudlian, Beatles and Cilla Black. Or you had the Barbara Winsors type Cockney accents. But those were hardly what some may say was proper spoken English. They were English accentuated accents which became popular with or with out gramma. I think you meant gramma. Which of your generation didn't know about or care for. That is clearly evident as the children of the sixties who came from the previous generation turned out to be Beatniks, Hippies, Flower children and Train Robbers. But truly the Train Robbers were not your lot's fault or your generation's fault as most of them were from the Georian era.

@@MikeGreenwood51 Oh dear, I think you need to address your lack of correct spelling and grammar yourself!

Gordon Bennett dad!You dirty old man!

At 1:02:35. Saying Excuse me sir as he opened the door standing to attention. Thank you. I would never have recognised him.

My impression was that Ransome was wanted for past crimes brought to light by the prosecutor as a result of background investigations. Yes I thought he may have sneaked out in the night easily, but the real mystery to me is why did Ann like him at all, ever. Ransome was a seedy creep from the beginning. Also however; a violent assault on a member of the court is considered a dire offense. And he had a witness. The story was better without a delay at the end explaining details. Artistic license.

That is why she did not say that he slept on the couch. That possibility would have been addressed.

Anyway, that weasel screaming, "Ann, Ann, Ann," from the dock compromised her immensely. I'm sure the jury felt that there was some sort of hanky panky going on between Ann and Ranscome. Ranscome's so low, lower than whale poop!

@@sheristewart3940 "so low, lower than whale poop!" Um chuckling!

Ransome pulled a gun. Also, the prosecuting attorney had evidence of other, lesser crimes as he stated when he said about pulling up a rock and discovering other things about Ramsome.

Rosamond John is one of my favorite actresses. ;)

Yes, the sound wasn't super clear for me either.

Sorry if the audio is a problem.There is something like a 10-12 step process between the original film and audio, all the way down to the YT uploads. If anything goes wrong at any stage, it can lead to problems. I have control of the last 3-4 steps and I try very hard not to make any mistakes or add to any existing problems.

yes, it was ghastly! I never saw such an awful dress....

@@margaretwhittaker2291 Agreed. It was absolutely horrible, who on earth thought that one up.

it's hideous, isn't it?

Good grief! It's not the height of fashion but, *the height of vulgarity!* I would have refused to wear it.

That cheap little string around her neck didn't help.

@BOC-kr2il Her character was pretending to be elegant - she was common.

If a friend asked you. 'Have you had breakfast this morning'. Would you reply 'Erh! Wa'd u mean' prompting the repharsal to 'did you of didn't you have breakfast'. Would you then turn to some one and say that guy is stupid. 'Course I did or didn't?

Born in 1906, he was 45-46 y/o in this film. If he smoked and drank alcohol to excess, coupled with his thin physique, this could result in his looking older than his actual age. Around the eyes he doesn't appear to be in the best of health. He died from heart attack at age 66.

Everybody looked old back in those days. Even children.😅

​@@TheSuperHarrygeorge...... Agree, even in photos, it was worse:

Queen Elizabeth II Barristers wouldn't have been officially classified as Q.C. until she was officially crowned in 1953. However there is no 'real' Time-Frame in the film, which would have started filming earlier in 1952, and was probably filmed and possibly completed before the King George VI had passed away.

@@moonshadow3946 thanks!

Yes they are.

@rajdeo263 Dr Crippen.

You MUST check out "Green For Danger" here on KZfaq! It offers a superb storyline with a host of well-known actors, including Rosamund John and Alastair Sim! I watched it again today, while I worked on my art projects. It's always nice to listen to a well-loved movie when I am busy with art. I don't have to watch it to keep up with what is happening, because I already know what is happening. I enjoy audiobooks, as well. Simon Stanhope's channel "Bitesized Audio" is great for that!

You can see Rosamund John in the classic who done it " Green For Danger" 1946 with Alistair Sim --- available on You Tube

The Way to the stars.

Four other films she was in, also available on youtube are: 'The Gentle Sex', 'When the Bough Breaks', 'The Upturned Glass' and 'Tawny Pipit'.

@@irismetcalfe Thanks for bringing When The Bough Breaks to my attention. Another Rosamund John film to tick off my list

Sorry about that. It's still a good movie. You might enjoy it!

@@VintageFilmChannel ,😃 can't buy the premise of a legal mind not disclosing vital information from the authorities, sorry

I would also add that I have done some colorized versions of a few programs. Check for the "Colorized" playlist! Thanks again, every comment is valuable to us.

@@VintageFilmChannelI like black and white

Me Too, but increasingly, people like color as well...

We try really hard to get it right. Could you describe what you noticed?

Found the audio to acceptable .

Sorry you were unhappy. Many people have really liked it.maybe yo can browse the channel and find something you like better. Regardless, I thank you for watching and commenting.
