Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Frank Gibbons, a recently discharged soldier, returns home from World War I and is the central character of the film. Who plays him?

Answer: Robert Newton

Writer and producer Coward managed to coax a subtle, understated performance from Newton, who by the time of the film already had a drinking problem and a reputation for being a difficult actor to work with.

Answer: Queenie

Queenie, played by Kay Walsh, frequently expresses her dissatisfaction with her boring middle-class life, before running off with a married man.
3. Frank Gibbons is delighted to find an old wartime comrade living next door. What is the name of this old pal?

Answer: Bob Mitchell

Although in different regiments, they served together on the Western Front, and Frank is overjoyed to find a old drinking partner right next door!
4. What is the name of the Gibbons' cat?

Answer: Percy

"Perce" arrives with the Gibbons family as they move in and is unceremoniously thrown out of the back door after having his paws buttered to stop him straying!
5. Frank's sister lives with them, is frequently unwell and has many arguments with Frank's mother. What is her name?

Answer: Sylvia

Sylvia always seems to have a permanent cold, and a air of putting up stoically with untold discomforts.
6. Which character is often spoken of - and sometimes even spoken to - but never appears and never speaks?

Answer: Norah, Bob's wife

When Frank first meets Bob again, Norah is "a bit under the weather". For the 20 years of the film poor Norah suffers a variety of illnesses and accidents and is never seen, although in one scene eveyone waves goodbye to her through the window!

Answer: Sam Leadbetter

Sam Leadbetter first appears as a radical Socialist, but after his marriage to Violet, becomes, in Queenie's words, a "boring, middle-class husband and father".
9. The Gibbons' son Reg marries his childhood sweetheart Phyllis. What happens to them?

Answer: They are both killed in a car crash.

After Reg's marriage to Phyllis - a major sequence in the film - they rather disappear from the story, until Violet arrives to advise her parents that on a Sunday afternoon trip down to Kent, Reg, Phyllis and their children are all killed in a tragic car accident.
10. Queenie, having run off with a married man, soon finds herself alone. Who rescues her and brings her home?

Answer: Billy

Billy Mitchell is amazed to find Queenie running a cafe in the South of France. He brings her back to England, and they marry quietly in Portsmouth before returning to face Frank and Ethel Gibbons.
