Notes: Put Anna Neagle into one of her London trio of films in chi-chi fashions and warbling a few tunes and she was full-week (or at least Saturday) dynamite. Stick her in a period drama and there’s your Tuesdays catered for. Although two-thirds of the bookings were first runs 35 (ranked 7th) of 43 were Tuesdays, accounting for the feeble EF ranking.
