I saw this film once only, when it was showing as a 'B' film with 'Airplane' in 1980. I was especially interested in seeing it because it features my car, a 1952 Austin A40 Somerset. The location director saw the car parked when he was was arranging to use the building opposite my home for the film (St Benedict's Junior School) The school has an Edwardian front entrance with a rather grand set of steps and he saw my car parked in the road outside and hired it from me for £50 cash.
I was interested to watch the section of film featuring my car being shot with the car driven repeatedly during the course of whole morning from the gates of the school and up to the steps of the house where it stopped abruptly and one of the cast jumped out and rushed up the steps to the front door.
When I saw the film I was surprised that this scene appeared in the opening seconds of the film and equally surprised that it was set at night time and lasted for only half a second! I would be fascinated to know if this 1980 'Ealing/Isle of Dogs' film still exists as it is definitely worth - for me at least - seeing a second time!
