趣闻
Cardboard Cavalier is a 1948 British historical comedy film directed by Walter Forde and starring Sid Field, Margaret Lockwood and Jerry Desmonde. It was written by Noel Langley.
Production
The film was part of an ambitious production programme from J. Arthur Rank to meet an increased quota for British films. His intent was to make 60 over 12 months.
Sid Field's casting was announced in June 1948. He made the movie after a six-month tour of the US. Field's previous film, London Town, had been a big flop but his popularity on stage encouraged Rank to try him again in films.
Pat Roc was meant to play the role of Nell Gwynn but reportedly turned it down and was replaced by Margaret Lockwood, who was keen to play comedy again after making a number of dramas. Field's son was born during filming on 5 August.
Filming started in June 1948. It was made at Denham Studios. Production of the film was interrupted by a strike from crew members in protest over recent sackings of film workers. Cast member Alfie Dean died as the result of an off-set accident during the period of filming.
Filming ended in January 1949. Lockwood wrote in her memoirs that "we had a romp of a time with Sid Field." In Picturegoer Lockwood said: "I was terribly distressed when I read the press notices of the film."
