5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Ealing movie from the 1940s!, 30 Mar 2007
By FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

Rather drab and gloomy 1940s movie with apt title, starring real-life husband and wife of sixty years - Googie Withers and John McCallum (now both aged ninety!)

A star-studded cast here, with some of the best known names in British cinema of the time! A film that can be rather dismal in places, but is brightened by a rather 'dishy' Sydney Tafler, being torn between his wife (Betty Ann Davies) and his 'bit on the side' (played by Susan Shaw)

Rosie (Googie Withers) is now married to a man fifteen years her senior. A previous boyfriend from the wrong side of the law escapes from prison, and turns up on her doorstep on the run. Rosie, with a love re-kindled, takes advantage of her loyal and 'decent' husband, along with some daring chances, and attempts to help the escaped convict. Lots of suspenseful moments in this, and as with several movies made by Googie at around this time, shows her talents with some defying and harsh facets to her character. All heads for tragedy - watch to find out how it all turns out!

Good viewing!

4.0 out of 5 stars good ealing fayre, 18 April 2007
By R. Pearce "Bob Pearce" (Londinium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The purpose of films , indeed most media ,is to entertain , inform and possible to educate . When this film was made the primary purpose was to entertain ( I suspect ) . With the passing of the years the primary purpose ,for younger people especially , is now to inform and educate. How life was in Britain 60-70 years ago. Bearing this in mind . this film is excellent in its task. The drabness of this period is faithfully reproducted with excellent acting from Googie Withers and Jack Warner with a good supporting cast .
Not exactly Ealing at its best - but good nevertheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Never Rains, But It Pours., 24 Oct 2009
By Stargazer (St.Kilda, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
The Ealing Studios became a fine independant studio under the leadership of Producer Michael Balcon. This film - It Always Rains On Sunday - is a quirky post war drama, enhanced by a superb performance by Googie Withers. Set in London's working class East End, Rose Sandigate (Withers) has no idea when she awakes on Sunday morning that her run of the mill life is about to change. Fifteen years earlier, her fiance Tommy Swan (John McCallum) was jailed in Dartmouth Prison for thieving, and now the place is abuzz because he has escaped and is on the run.
Jack Warner plays DS Fothergill, and he searches the East End for Swan's old cohort's,figuring he will return there and hide out. He does, and takes shelter out in the shed behind the Sandigate home. The cat and mouse drama heats up when Rose decides to help her ex lover to escape,and the chase sequence at the films end was very well done with some great camera work and lighting.
Apart from Withers, Jack Warner turns in another fine and seemingly effortless performance.Edward Chapman gives good support as Rose's husband,George, as do both McCallum, and Sydney Tafler.
The film was directed by Robert Hamer,(who also directed Kind Hearts and Coronets for Ealing) and the end result is a fine drama with a few twists and turns along the way. A very entertaining film indeed.
