SCHOOL FOR RANDLE

GB
1949
1hr 29mins
Dir: John Blakeley
Starring: Frank Randle and Maudie Edwards

A former Music-Hall entertainer becomes a school caretaker before discovering that he is the father of one of the pupils

This music-hall comedy was the usual weak fare from Randle, which although cheaply made proved to be one of a group of productions that were a commercial success for Mancunian Films. There is a brief scene filmed at an unknown station, possibly Didsbury, and a stock image from Brief Encounter (1945) in the form of a going-away shot of an LMS streamlined ‘Coronation’ Class 4-6-2 on an express.

The identity of this station is not known, but it could possibly be Didsbury, which was in Lancashire at the time of filming but now forms part of the Greater Manchester conurbation
The familiar and often used stock shot from Brief Encounter (1945). This shot shows a streamlined LMS ‘Coronation’ passing Carnforth and is unusually ‘crisp’.
