Dir: Lance Comfort
Starring: Robert Hutton and Lisa Gastoni

A mix-up over coats at a barber’s shop leads to intrigue over forgery plates and an actor trying to clear his name

This crime film has a sequence near the beginning that alternates between London’s Waterloo and Victoria stations. Though no trains feature, and despite the continuity error, the scenes are atmospheric and show the stations from some unusual angles.

Buses circulate outside London’s Victoria station in the pouring rain
Only this is the unmistakable concourse of Waterloo
The left luggage office at Waterloo
As Emerton Court hands over his luggage we get to see the station from the eyes of the left luggage porter
And a rarely seen entrance to Victoria
