    • Trivia
      Googie Withers, who played Rose Sandigate, and John McCallum, who played Tommy Swann, met on this movie, and were married the next year. They were married for 62 years, until his death.
    • Goofs
      Alfie Sandigate is seen arguing with his mother and then disappears into a side room moments before the reporter Slopey calls. There is then a brawl on the stairs and Tommy escapes. Surely the noise would have disturbed Alfie into making another appearance, but he seems to have completely disappeared.
    • Quotes

      Joe: We don't cater to the criminal classes.

      Detective Sergeant Fothergill: Turned over a new leaf?

      Joe: There's such a thing as a law of libel.

      Detective Sergeant Fothergill: There's such a thing as ham, but there's none in this sandwich.

    Location
    It is already listed but if you want to see the street where the family was "living" go to Hartland Road, just off Chalk Farm Road, just north of Camden Market. It is amazing how little has changed! (except the price of property!) It is odd to think that the street in which the film was set in such a period of shortages is now so close to such overt consumerism!

    Also nice to note that is the fact that "Rose"- Googie Withers and "lover boy" John McCallum married each other for real in the year that the film was made and are still alive and married to each other today!

    I wonder if films which are so "depressing" could be made today. Maybe the audience is just not there anymore. Conditions have improved since then and film-makers have to relate to their current audiences (usually under 25!)
