Unbeknown to her, a fortune has been stashed by her frugal husband in the corset of his adulterous wife

This rumbustious Welsh comedy features a couple of scenes filmed outside Weybridge station, plus an excellent shot of the down ‘Torbay Express’ (headcode 146) speeding through Taplow station with a former GWR ‘Castle’ on the front.

Meredith Edwards leaves through a side entrance of a station building….
…..and waits outside before re-entering. The poster on the wall behind him advertises a Sunday ‘Limited Excursion’ to Cardiff. The film is set in Wales yet the poster is a prop because this is Weybridge station in Surrey.
