SOMETHING IN THE CITY

GB
1950
1hr 16mins
Dir: Maclean Rogers
Starring: Richard Hearne and Betty Sinclair

An out-of-work city financier still pretends to his wife that he has a job

This wonderfully simple little comedy has one scene that was filmed on Shepperton station with a pre-war SR EMU in the platform. There is also a later shot of the frontage to South Kensington Underground station.

Richard Hearne struggles with a clock on the platform at Shepperton station. A pre-war SR EMU is in the platform.
Richard Hearne now fumbles for his ticket outside Shepperton station. Note the somewhat wonky sign advertising Whitsun Excursions.
This is looking down Old Brompton Road towards South Kensington Underground station with its prominent ‘District Railway’ signage
