THE BRIGHTON STRANGLER

US
1945
1hr 07mins
Dir: Max Nosseck
Starring: John Loder and June Duprez

An actor goes mad and tries to live out the life of the character he is playing on stage by committing a string of murders

A train journey from London Victoria features prominently in this American crime drama and a number of scenes show the station and trains, though the only locomotive visible throughout is SR ‘King Arthur’ N15 Class 4-6-0 No.748 Vivien leaving London Waterloo!

There may be no mistaking this location but this is, none the less, a very unusual angle to London Victoria’s station frontage. One wonders if the flag flying was that of the Southern Railway?
And there is no mistaking this locomotive either. ‘King Arthur’ Class No.748 Vivien, otherwise known as ‘The Lady of the Lake’, pulls out of London Waterloo.
