GALLOPING MAJOR

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Black and White Still of JANETTE SCOTT, JIMMY HANLEY & RENE RAY directorHENRY CORNELIUS and film crew filming a scene in Belsize Village, London NW3 for the 1951 Henry Cornelius Comedy THE GALLOPING MAJOR.

The title is taken from the song “The Galloping Major”, and the plot was centred on gambling at the horse racing track. People in a London suburb form a syndicate to buy a race horse to run in the Grand National but they accidentally buy the wrong horse. The horse is useless on the flat, so they decide to enter him as a jumper.
