Goofs

Near the beginning, Patrick (Alan Dobie) loses his temper with a coal man who won't move his coal lorry so that Patrick can drive his car out of a narrow mews. He attacks the man, severely beating him to such an extent that he is taken to hospital with concussion and a broken jaw. Yet the police never investigate this or arrest him or charge him with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and nothing more is heard of the incident.
