TWO ON THE TILES

GB
1951
1hr 13mins
Dir: John Guillermin
Starring: Herbert Lom and Brenda Bruce

An unscrupulous butler blackmails the couple who employ him when they both face temptations when separated for a few days

This satire features good shots of the ‘Golden Arrow’ at London Victoria station, with a suitably decorated streamlined ex-SR ‘Merchant Navy’ Class 4-6-2 at the helm. The railway scenes open with some fine views of the station frontage and include shots filmed onboard the Pullman stock. Thanks to reelstreets for the screen captures.
