A courtesan takes her niece to Monte Carlo to begin a new life

There is a night scene at the very end of this romantic drama that was filmed on the Bluebell Railway at Horsted Keynes station, masquerading as ‘Monte-Carlo’ of all places. Ex-LSWR Adams Radial 0415 Class 4-4-2T No.488 is seen at the head of the ‘Chesham rake’, and then again passing through the station light engine. The movie was based on the 1951 novel of the same name by Barbara Cartland.
