Pleasantly surprised to see that it includes The Phantom Light (1935)
There weren't many films made on location back in the 1930s

Chuffin' good page here......
FR Heritage Group Wiki: The Phantom Light
Yes, chuff-chuffin' good:
There are also some reviews and other things on the PaPAS site.
In a couple of places Sam (Gordon Harker, a Londoner adrift in North Wales) refers to people acting crazy as having "gone Betty". Any suggestions as to where that might come from?

Judging by the way Gordon Harker often spoke, I imagine he meant "batty", Steve

Small piece of trivia: The first film the Odeon in Hornchurch showed upon it's opening night in 1935 was: Phantom Light..... Not a lot of people know that..

So can I, but I didn't mean his real London accent, I meant his "posh" London accent
"Well ai never!" Difficult to put into words...

Quite common (as in often used) as well. Like Mr Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
Usually identifiable by misplaced use of the letter 'H' at the beginning of words, like "Goin' hon my 'olidays". Even going so far as to pronounce that letter as "haitch" when of course it should just be "aitch"
