Hi

I'm an avid collector of old British movies.

There is this one movie that I vaguely remember about a couple of guys coming back from the forces (I think I recall them having sailors uniforms). One of them is due to be married and the other is his best man. It's a typical working class family.

The brides family are intent on buying them a house nearby.

The father is busy tending to his garden throughout the movie (Roses I think).

I'm sure that at ther end of the movie someone dies.

I cant be sure but I think the movie was in b/w and looked like 1940/50's.

It's driving me crazy.. I've been trying to remember more about this movie for a couple of years.

Does it ring any bells with anyone?

It sounds a lot like 'Sailor Beware' to me, as mentioned by Wadsy.

This is the one with Peggy Mount. I think it was Gordon Jackson who played the best man, but I can't remember the name of the groom. I'm fairly sure Shirley Eaton is in it too. I don't know if this is the film you're after, but I have seen it crop up on Channel 4 from time to time.
