Plot SynopsisSuccessful omnibus film created by writer Sidney Gilliat combining the true story of a bomb landing on a Piccadilly hotel, with a bus documentary. At one minute to midnight on Friday the 13th, lightening strikes a crane in London and swerving to avoid it, a bus crashes into a shop killing two passengers. The film flashes-back 24 hours and tells stories both dramatic and humorous about six people – all passengers on the bus. The characters include a chorus girl en route to a date with a man she doesn't love; a henpecked husband whose wife was cheating on him; a blackmailer who'd been bleeding an unfortunate young man dry; a wise-guy crook who was about to be caught by a nasty detective; and so on. Ultimately we discover which two die. |
