This rarely seen movie is scripted from the book ‘Airing in a Closed Carriage' by Joseph Shearing, one of several pseudonyms of Mrs Gabrielle Margaret Vere Long who wrote some150 novels in the early part of the nineteenth century. This one she based on the famous case of Florence Maybrick who was sentenced to death for the murder of her husband by arsenic in 1889, although it is now generally regarded as a gross miscarriage of justice and she was reprieved at the last moment, ending with a fifteen-year jail sentence (read the definitive book "Did She Kill Him?" by Kate Colquhoun). All the major facts of the case are included with only minimal alterations although somewhat simplified, and the ending has been changed for dramatic effect and a suitable ‘wrap' for the story. Eric Portman (in the suggested role of ‘Michael Maybrick') gives one of his marvellous debonaire-come-sinister performances and Sally Gray is beautiful enough in the ‘Florence' role, though Patrick Holt comes across as too histrionic. Dermot Walsh is fair in the part of the supposed lover Jerome Thorn (based on the ‘Brierley' character of the original case) and there are several small roles in which are cast by the likes of Vida Hope, Helen Cherry, Janet Kay, James Hayter, Andrew Cruickshank, Miles Malleson - and Denis O'Dea gives a very understated interpretation of the prosecuting counsel. I do not own the copyright to this film. I tried uploading another film by the same author: "So Evil My Love", which starred Ann Todd, Ray Milland and Geraldine Fitzgerald, but found copyright control prevented me from posting it - a pity - it was an interesting film...
This rare film is unusual and interesting. Filmed in 1946 it wasn't released until two years later because of trouble with the censor - though on today's viewing one can only wonder what they found ion it to condemn. Eric Portman gives his usual brisk, clipped performance and Ann Todd has an adequate stab at a more ordinary accent than is usual for her. This was an extraordinary choice of subject to follow up her huge success in "The Seventh Veil", the subject matter being very low-key and not at all universal in appeal. However, the very unusualness makes the film particularly interesting. Maxwell Reed also gives one of his better performances, and the seedy atmosphere of the docks is conveyed very convincingly. Nice turns, also, by Edward Rigby and Bill Owen.

A propaganda film from 1943 made by Gainsborough Films and directed by Frank Lauder and Sidney Gilliatt, this documentary-style ‘home-front' movie has a huge reputation and is regarded as one of the best films to come out of the War period. Propaganda for encouraging the populace to pull together to defeat the enemy it may have been, but the directors and actors manage to bring out the pathos, warmth and ‘pulling together' of the period so well that it just feels like a great ‘feel-good' movie, though with a somewhat sad ending.
There are many small details to be enjoyed - the contrast between the pre-war holiday had by the main family and the stringencies of wartime; Tommy Trinder, giving his services for no credit, heard but not seen (as the Station Master's voice-over); "Calling All Workers" being played as we're introduced to the factory; the MC's (played by Hal Gordon) face lighting up when a lorry-load of soldiers arrive to spice up his drab dance-hall; Irene Handl's 30 seconds as the married couple's land-lady; Anne Crawford's snooty, posh, ‘better-than-thou' caricature; and incredibly young-looking Gordon Jackson gently wooing Patricia Roc, a complete natural as the quiet, slightly shy young woman who is forced by the government, against her wishes, to be sent to a munitions factory in Wales; Eric Portman playing against type as the Factory boss - so many enjoyable moments...
This was the first film to give Pat Roc a leading role of some substance and which led to a seven-year contract with Gainsborough Studios and her reputation as "The Goddess of the Odeons". Along with Phyllis Calvert and Margaret Lockwood she was one of the most popular stars of the 1940s, towards the end of which her career went into decline. It is surprising that with her bubbly, effervescent personality and tremendous popularity with the movie-going public, more wasn't made to capitalise on this popularity, but according to her biographer, Michael Hodgson, she had difficulties with J Arthur Rank and wasn't prepared to continue being used as ‘bodice-ripping' fodder which he resented and retaliated by foolishly ignoring the potential in his star.
Although some of the back-drops and model sets tend to be a bit amateurish (austerity times meant a tight budget), the factory and dance-hall scenes are excellently handled and very convincing. The pub where Jackson proposes to Roc is still there at 1 Abingdon Road, Dorchester-on-Thames, but there seems to be no information on where the munition factory scenes were shot. The film has a wealth of acting talent well-known at the period including Basil Rathbone & Naunton Wayne, Joy Shelton, Megs Jenkins, Amy Veness and Beatrice Varley. A large amount of supporting actors get no credit for their parts in the film - a common failing of this period - and names that might ring a bell include Brenda Bruce, Albert Chevalier, Avis Scott and John Slater, A thoroughly worth while couple of hour's viewing!

Eric Portman reads Lord Byron's famous poem, She Walks In Beauty. Recorded in 1959 and released on the EP Palgraves Golden Treasury.
http://ezinearticles.com/?She-Walks-In-Beauty,-A-Discussion-of-the-Poem-by-Lord-Byron&id;=80761
"In June, 1814, several months before he met and married his first wife, Anna Milbanke, Lord Byron attended a party at Lady Sitwells. While at the party, Lord Byron was inspired by the sight of his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot, who was wearing a black spangled mourning dress. Lord Byron was struck by his cousins dark hair and fair face, the mingling of various lights and shades. This became the essence of his poem about her.
According to his friend, James W. Webster, "I did take him to Lady Sitwells party in Seymour Road. He there for the first time saw his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot. When we returned to his rooms in Albany, he said little, but desired Fletcher to give him a tumbler of brandy, which he drank at one to Mrs. Wilmots health, then retired to rest, and was, I heard afterwards, in a sad state all night. The next day he wrote those charming lines upon her—She walks in Beauty like the Night"
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Eric Portman (13 July 1901, Akroydon, Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire - 7 December 1969, St Veep, Cornwall) was a distinguished English stage and film actor. He is probably best remembered for his roles in several films for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger during the 1940s.
He started work in 1922 as a salesman in the menswear department at Marshall and Snelgrove's department store in Leeds and acted in the amateur Halifax Light Opera Society. He made his professional stage debut in 1924 with Henry Baynton's company, before he was engaged by Lilian Baylis for the Old Vic Company. In 1928, he starred as Romeo in the rebuilt Old Vic and forged a reputation as a noted Shakespearian actor.
In the 1930s, he began appearing in films. In 1935, he appeared in four films, including Maria Marten or Murder in the Red Barn.
In 1945, exhibitors voted him the tenth most popular star at the British box office. He maintained that ranking the following year.
In 1967, he played Number Two in the TV series The Prisoner, appearing in the episode "Free For All".

Eric Portman - She walks in Beauty - Lord Byron
Eric Portman reads Lord Byron's famous poem, She Walks In Beauty. Recorded in 1959 and released on the EP Palgraves Golden Treasury. http://ezinearticles.com/?She-Walks-In-Beauty,-A-Discussion-of-the-Poem-by-Lord-Byron&id;=80761 "In June, 1814, several months before he met and married his first wife, Anna Milbanke, Lord Byron attended a party at Lady Sitwells. While at the party, Lord Byron was inspired by the sight of his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot, who was wearing a black spangled mourning dress. Lord Byron was struck by his cousins dark hair and fair face, the mingling of various lights and shades. This became the essence of his poem about her. According to his friend, James W.

This rarely seen movie is scripted from the book ‘Airing in a Closed Carriage' by Joseph Shearing, one of several pseudonyms of Mrs Gabrielle Margaret Vere Long who wrote some150 novels in the early part of the nineteenth century. This one she based on the famous case of Florence Maybrick who was sentenced to death for the murder of her husband by arsenic in 1889, although it is now generally regarded as a gross miscarriage of justice and she was reprieved at the last moment, ending with a fifteen-year jail sentence (read the definitive book "Did She Kill Him?" by Kate Colquhoun). All the major facts of the case are included with only minimal alterations although somewhat simplified, and the ending has been changed for dramatic effect and a suitable ‘wrap' for the story. Eric Portman (in the suggested role of ‘Michael Maybrick') gives one of his marvellous debonaire-come-sinister performances and Sally Gray is beautiful enough in the ‘Florence' role, though Patrick Holt comes across as too histrionic. Dermot Walsh is fair in the part of the supposed lover Jerome Thorn (based on the ‘Brierley' character of the original case) and there are several small roles in which are cast by the likes of Vida Hope, Helen Cherry, Janet Kay, James Hayter, Andrew Cruickshank, Miles Malleson - and Denis O'Dea gives a very understated interpretation of the prosecuting counsel. I do not own the copyright to this film. I tried uploading another film by the same author: "So Evil My Love", which starred Ann Todd, Ray Milland and Geraldine Fitzgerald, but found copyright control prevented me from posting it - a pity - it was an interesting film...

This rare film is unusual and interesting. Filmed in 1946 it wasn't released until two years later because of trouble with the censor - though on today's viewing one can only wonder what they found ion it to condemn. Eric Portman gives his usual brisk, clipped performance and Ann Todd has an adequate stab at a more ordinary accent than is usual for her. This was an extraordinary choice of subject to follow up her huge success in "The Seventh Veil", the subject matter being very low-key and not at all universal in appeal. However, the very unusualness makes the film particularly interesting. Maxwell Reed also gives one of his better performances, and the seedy atmosphere of the docks is conveyed very convincingly. Nice turns, also, by Edward Rigby and Bill Owen.

A propaganda film from 1943 made by Gainsborough Films and directed by Frank Lauder and Sidney Gilliatt, this documentary-style ‘home-front' movie has a huge reputation and is regarded as one of the best films to come out of the War period. Propaganda for encouraging the populace to pull together to defeat the enemy it may have been, but the directors and actors manage to bring out the pathos, warmth and ‘pulling together' of the period so well that it just feels like a great ‘feel-good' movie, though with a somewhat sad ending.
There are many small details to be enjoyed - the contrast between the pre-war holiday had by the main family and the stringencies of wartime; Tommy Trinder, giving his services for no credit, heard but not seen (as the Station Master's voice-over); "Calling All Workers" being played as we're introduced to the factory; the MC's (played by Hal Gordon) face lighting up when a lorry-load of soldiers arrive to spice up his drab dance-hall; Irene Handl's 30 seconds as the married couple's land-lady; Anne Crawford's snooty, posh, ‘better-than-thou' caricature; and incredibly young-looking Gordon Jackson gently wooing Patricia Roc, a complete natural as the quiet, slightly shy young woman who is forced by the government, against her wishes, to be sent to a munitions factory in Wales; Eric Portman playing against type as the Factory boss - so many enjoyable moments...
This was the first film to give Pat Roc a leading role of some substance and which led to a seven-year contract with Gainsborough Studios and her reputation as "The Goddess of the Odeons". Along with Phyllis Calvert and Margaret Lockwood she was one of the most popular stars of the 1940s, towards the end of which her career went into decline. It is surprising that with her bubbly, effervescent personality and tremendous popularity with the movie-going public, more wasn't made to capitalise on this popularity, but according to her biographer, Michael Hodgson, she had difficulties with J Arthur Rank and wasn't prepared to continue being used as ‘bodice-ripping' fodder which he resented and retaliated by foolishly ignoring the potential in his star.
Although some of the back-drops and model sets tend to be a bit amateurish (austerity times meant a tight budget), the factory and dance-hall scenes are excellently handled and very convincing. The pub where Jackson proposes to Roc is still there at 1 Abingdon Road, Dorchester-on-Thames, but there seems to be no information on where the munition factory scenes were shot. The film has a wealth of acting talent well-known at the period including Basil Rathbone & Naunton Wayne, Joy Shelton, Megs Jenkins, Amy Veness and Beatrice Varley. A large amount of supporting actors get no credit for their parts in the film - a common failing of this period - and names that might ring a bell include Brenda Bruce, Albert Chevalier, Avis Scott and John Slater, A thoroughly worth while couple of hour's viewing!

http://ezinearticles.com/?She-Walks-In-Beauty,-A-Discussion-of-the-Poem-by-Lord-Byron&id;=80761
"In June, 1814, several months before he met and married his first wife, Anna Milbanke, Lord Byron attended a party at Lady Sitwells. While at the party, Lord Byron was inspired by the sight of his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot, who was wearing a black spangled mourning dress. Lord Byron was struck by his cousins dark hair and fair face, the mingling of various lights and shades. This became the essence of his poem about her.
According to his friend, James W. Webster, "I did take him to Lady Sitwells party in Seymour Road. He there for the first time saw his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot. When we returned to his rooms in Albany, he said little, but desired Fletcher to give him a tumbler of brandy, which he drank at one to Mrs. Wilmots health, then retired to rest, and was, I heard afterwards, in a sad state all night. The next day he wrote those charming lines upon her—She walks in Beauty like the Night"
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
