Derby Day
1952 · 84 MIN · IMDB 6.5 · 122 VOTES · DIR. Herbert Wilcox
Overview
Entertaining ensemble piece dealing with several characters who are on the way to the races on Derby day. It cleverly blends dramatic, romantic and comic elements, including the woman and lover who have murdered her husband, and the working class couple who are excited about their chance to go to the races, but end up listening to it on the radio in the car-park because they've got such a bad view.

00:01:54 Derby Day has just begun.
00:06:01 Hello...
00:09:57 But you've got to get up.
00:13:31 And real orchids.
00:16:52 But it ain't the same as the real thing,
00:20:44 Ah yes, but it's not transferable.
00:23:47 Yeah, he'll be there today.
00:27:45 Oi!
00:32:52 Really wonderful.
00:35:53 Never mind who said so.
00:39:23 Oh.
00:42:22 Joe, isn't it wonderful?
00:45:19 No, no, I haven't.
00:47:54 Oh, but I have lots of money, seven pounds.
00:51:07 50 bob?
00:54:00 Her uncle was dead.
00:58:20 Why did you come here today?
01:02:00 His wife, Elizabeth Molloy, is missing.
01:05:26 It's curious, isn't it?
01:09:18 in some strange way you seem.
01:12:40 Just like the humblest of their subjects.
01:17:20 But he's still got a long way to go.
01:21:34 It's your money, it's not mine.
01:25:01 Derby Day is over.
