Note that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1951, but we have never seen or heard of any movie paper from that release, and movie paper of any sort from this off-beat movie is extremely rare! Note that this was an early movie in director Charles Crichton's career. Three years later, he would direct "The Lavender Hill Mob", one of the most classic English comedies ever!
