Derby Day (1952)
7/10
Fine Little Film
8 April 2023
An almost anthology film about a set of characters as they navigate towards and win during a derby. One set, is about a young help who went in as a replacement of her injured boss and meet a semi-famous actor, two elderly bettors and a lover trying to outrun the crime they did.

A noteworthy film that blends multiple genres into one sweeping working film AND clocking below 90 mins too. The acting was just enough to fill the gaps but the main plot about the maid and the semi-famous actor was delightfully done. The other main subplot about the murder is a a bit lackluster but provides enough spice for the film to be more than your everyday fluff.

Overall, a noteworthy film.
