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.

good solid drama

i have to disagree with the other reviewer. this a good, solid drama that captures the mood of post war london expertly. the stories mesh together well and the performances, with one notable exception, are first rate. the atmospheric photgraphy adds to the overall feel of the piece and the climax is very exciting.
