Review of Derby Day

Derby Day (1952)
6/10
Run Their Course
15 December 2015
This was the last of one of the most successful series of films in British cinemas history.By the time they made this film both Be able and Wilding were a bit long in the tooth.They were given the least uninteresting and most maudlin of the stories in this portmanteau film.Withers and Mccallum seem to be reprising past roles.Gordon Harker and Gladys Henson play a comment cab driver and his wife going to the Derby for the first time.A film star is won in a raffle and accompanies a French girl.There are a lot of jokes about the film industry.The film is very old fashioned and some of the attitudes are wince inducing.However over all it is still fairly entertaining.
