- TriviaThe SR staged the climactic train wreck one Sunday near Herriard, on their Basingstoke - Alton branch line. The passenger cars seen are old enough ones that they were gaslit; the gas cylinders were emptied before the crash to avoid a fire hazard. The tracks were cleared and repaired in time for service to resume on Monday morning.

Featured review
Silly comedy thriller but of interest
This a comedy thriller but it isn't funny and doesn't thrill.However it is of interest.First of course the train crash which is quite spectacular.Secondly for the views of everyday England in the twenties,not so different from today.Thirdly because the film was made on the cusp of sound.It had a score and we hear the villains voice in an incriminating recording of a telephone conversation.Clearly Gainsborough were trying to make this film acceptable to an audience who wanted nothing but talkies.One of the big problems of a film such as this was the number of interrupted required.It does become rather tiresome.
