GB 1951 1hr 37mins Dir: Bruce Humberstone Starring: David Niven and Diane Hart
A chorus girl falls for a millionaire during the Edinburgh Festival
This musical comedy was largely set on location in Edinburgh and some of the city’s trams feature in a number of scenes. These are particularly fine as they are in colour.
Is this the biggest concentration of trams in one shot? At least twenty can be counted in this view of Princes Street and the Scott Monument, which is across the gardens from Waverley station.
A tram passes a band of pipers on their way to perform at the festival. This is the junction of The Mound, Market Street and North Bank Street in Edinburgh. Notice the second tram crossing North Bridge in the centre distance.
A solitary tram trundles towards the camera in this view looking eastward on George Street with the tower of St. Andrew’s Church to the right.
