Underground

As he rode the London subway to work, crass electrician Bert (Cyril McLaglen) took a fancy to shopgirl Nell (Elissa Landi)...but so did gallant escalator porter Bill (Brian Aherne), who stepped in to end the harassment. Bert wasn’t one to take the rejection lightly, though--and he could readily coax his abused ex Kate (Norah Baring) into setting Bill up for public disgrace. Expressionistically rendered working class romance was the first solo directing credit for Anthony Asquith. 84 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; alternate music track;featurette. Silent with music score.
