Plot Synopsis

Lift operator Curley is in love with Emily, a cleaner working in the same block. When Emily is released from hospital, Curley arranges a surprise dinner for her in the flat of Mr Carr who is away. When Carr returns unexpectedly, a fight breaks out, with Curley being charged with illegal entry and assault. They are rescued by Curley's playboy employer, Canley.

This well-received romance provided Margaret Lockwood with one of her earliest leading screen roles at the age of 19. She went on to become Britain's most popular film star of the 1940s in films like The Man in Grey, The Wicked Lady and Love Story. Someday brought Michael Powell into contact with Esmond Knight once more and was another of the director's films for Warner Brothers at their Teddington Studios.
