The Crowded Day sees five women's lives intertwine in a bitter-sweet tale of shop-floor intrigue. Set against the busy backdrop of a department store in post-war London (and with interiors shot at Bourne & Hollingsworth on Oxford Street adding authenticity) this engaging, tightly-written ensemble piece is bustling with familiar faces from the golden age of British cinema.
