Trivia
Originally on the BFI's '75 Most Wanted' list of missing films, this film has now been rediscovered, restored and is available on DVD.

Quotes
Denis Compton: [emerging from the cricket nets] The last time we met was at that awful Inter-Services match at Oldchester.
Bob Regan: Oh Boy, do I remember that day! But you've been doing alright in football since then, not to mention your efforts at this game.
Denis Compton: Oh well, Bob, I've had more than my fair share of luck...

Crazy credits
Apart from Denis Compton (who plays himself) all characters are entirely fictitious.

glad I saw it but hardly a classic.

The Who have an old song called Pictures Of Lily about a young guy who becomes obsessed with a long dead actress.

In the same way I have been tracking down old British films featuring Susan Shaw.

This film is now avilable on blu ray.

So I bought it and watched it.

I am glad I saw it but it is a historical curiosity with images of old style football grounds and fashions.

It is really not a rediscovered classic.
