A failing third-rate music-hall stage performer has one last shot at fame

Based on the stage play of the same name by John Osbourne this drama features scenes filmed at the old London Liverpool Street station, but no trains are visible. There are also some night shots of Blackpool trams at the end, with two Brush single-deck cars and two illuminated trams identifiable, the latter being an old double-decker and a pseudo ‘paddle steamer’.

This unusual view is in fact taken on the stairs of the footbridge at London Liverpool Street leading down to No.6 platform (reelstreets)
