A clever ensemble piece blending seamlessly the tales of several characters on their way to the races in Epsom. Anna Neagle, Michael Wilding and Googie Withers head an all-star cast. Another successful example of Anna Neagle’s collaborations with director husband Herbert Wilcox, Derby Day (1952) is a clever ensemble piece blending seamlessly the tales of several characters on their way to the races in Epsom. Among them are a taxi driver, a French maid, Lady Helen Forbes – and a murderer. The all-star cast includes Ealing Studios favourite Googie Withers and Neagle’s regular co-star Michael Wilding.
