    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Liz Fraser (Ethel) was still learning to drive at the time the film was made. In the scene where she follows the army convoy in an Aston Martin, she kept stalling as she set off on cue, so ropes were attached to the front of the car, out of shot, and it was towed.
    • Goofs
      (at around 61 minutes) The driver reversing the Black Maria is not white-haired Soapy Stevens, but a black-haired double.
