It Always Rains on Sunday is a dark and dramatic tale set in a bombed-damaged postwar East End London. The third film for Ealing by director Robert Hamer – better known for the later Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), it takes place over one wet Sunday, and centres on the Sandigates – in particular Rose, played by Googie Withers, a housewife caught between her stable but loveless marriage and Tommy, a charismatic lover from her past (played by Withers’ soon-to-be husband, John McCallum.)
