The Citadel

(1938, Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell)

Several London street scenes showing London Transport STLs and a Tilling ST in back projection, also a brief location shot of an LT on route 53:

In a sequence towards the end of the movie, a small boy is almost run over by ST741 (GN4612), a 1931 example of the class shown in close up - this is a studio shot, which may explain why the bus is apparently on the wrong side of the road! Colin Read adds “Incidentally, the film is available in a computer-colorised version. Whereas this has been expertly done, this does not apply to the buses, one of which appears virtually silver all over”
