A naive young man sent down from Oxford, blunders through a series of bizarre adventures
The basis for this De Luxe comedy film is the 1928 novel Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh, though it has been updated to contemporary times. It notably features two shots of passing trains, the first is a going away shot of a Blue Pullman, and the second is a particularly fine view of an express hauled by a two-tone green Class 47 passing along the bank of a river. There is then one final scene filmed at a wayside halt, but the exact location is not yet known.
