Anna Neagle and Michael Wilding star in this classic portmanteau film that examines the fates and fortunes of a group of disparate characters on their way to the Derby at Epsom Downs. Each year, thousands of people make their way to Epsom for the greatest fixture on the racing calendar. These little clusters of people, each unknown to the other, are all strangely incongruous. This year, however, some are destined to be intertwined before the day's end in both joy and despair. (Network)
