This is the first time that I have watched this obscure 1957 film. Most of the National Service conscripts appear far too old for the 18+ years they would have been, I know because I was a National Service sapper from 1954 to 1956. However, the uniforms are correct. Anna Neagle as producer has done a poor job of this Liverpool-based drama. There are lots of well-known British actors that must have been short of work at the time to accept roles in this film. The continuity is weak. Frankie Vaughan's acting is awful. I wouldn't want to watch it again, despite a nice view of the 1957 Ford Consul and the beautiful, but tragic, Carole Lesley.
