A young man is set on marrying a spoilt rich girl with a fiery temper

This British farce is a modern (well in 1933 anyhow) remake of William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. It features a really good shot of a train arriving at Elstree & Borehamwood station behind an LMS Class 1P 0-4-4T on a suburban train. The locomotive is one of a handful that were fitted with a Johnson boiler and condensing equipment for working the widened lines of the Metropolitan Railway but inroads into the withdrawal of the class of 30 had started in 1929, so this is a rare glimpse indeed. The only problem is that the camera cuts just before the number comes into view.

The stars of the show arrive outside Elstree & Borehamwood station on the Midland main line, unsurprisingly a regular feature in films.
This fabulous shot of a sadly unidentified Class 1P is very rare, however. Unfortunately this is as close as the number gets to the camera and it is just too grainy to read. Note the row of four-wheel freight vans in the platform behind.
As the train departs one is treated to an excellent glimpse of LMS 3rd Class suburban stock
