Herbert Lom
I received a wonderful Christmas present from my wife, Kings Cross by Paul Anderson Irwell Press. There is a chapter describing the Ladykillers film and something I thought that was interesting and unknown to me was that Herbert Lom was a rail enthusiast and spent time on the set watching the locos moving around the area. I found on the internet a photo of him with a small pair of binoculars, perhaps he was using them. I just wanted to share this, he must have really enjoyed making the film.
Re: Herbert Lom
Indeed I'd heard that the late Mr Lom was a fellow enthusiast. It must have been a dream come true, especially when he was so close to the operations of the southern end of the east coast mainline. By all accounts he had a whale of a time meeting the various members of railway staff from the highest management types to the lowest etc.........

Re: Herbert Lom
Herbert Lom was also in a film called The Man Who Watched Trains Go By from 1952.
Herbert also starred in a television series between 1963-1964 called The Human Jungle where he played a Psychiatrist that some people on here may remember including myself although I was only between 6-7 years old at the time but I vaguely remember it being on the old b&w telly.

Re: Herbert Lom
Thanks delticfan for that little window on Herbert Lom.
One of my favorite movies, because of the plot, the actors and actress, and the location.
For those of you who know the film and its making, can you tell me if the house was built specially?
It appears in the film as unusually sited in a field, that may have been owned by the railway.
Being at the end of the road, it took on a rather sinister aspect.

Re: Herbert Lom
I understand that the house was specially built for the film, out of what materials I don't know, probably a lot of timber. The film does have a magic about it and if you like the LNER only more so. The subject would make an excellent diorama for a railway model.
