My Father appeared in it


My father had a tiny role in the film, played a farmer whose clothes Rex Harrison stole, as I heard it, my father runs out of a cottage,falls over an errant pig and so never catches the "thief". They had ro re-shoot the pig scene several times and by the end the pig was getting "snappy".
I've never seen the film, my father tells me the last time it was aired on TV his scene was mostly cut anyway. I would still like to see it but it seems to have vanished from the surface of this planet.
If anyone has any version of it please do get in touch. Steve, (father Peter Burdon from the West of England Theatre Company, Exmouth UK).

Update:2012....Now have a very good copy of film on DVD

Ah, yes, that's the scene when he steals the trouser drying on the line. That's right after he leaves Dora's house, about 32 minutes in.
