To Dorothy, a Son.

[John Green]

I've been watching the Renown DVD of the 1954 film, starring Shelley Winters, John Gregson, and Peggy Cummins. Adapted by Peter Rodgers, and Directed by Muriel Box, it's a pretty good watch. Nice to spot Alfie Bass, Nicholas Parsons, Charles Hawtrey, and Joan Sims among the support. Given the plot, the US title of Cash on Delivery is funnier.

There were two TV productions, both missing:

ITV Television Playhouse (AKA London Playhouse (15 March 1956). IMDB only list:

Diana Decker Diana Decker
Hubert Gregg Hubert Gregg
Veronica Hurst Veronica Hurst

as the cast.

The other was:

Brian Rix Presents...To Dorothy a Son. (11 April 1966).

Cast (in credits order)
Brian Rix ... Toni Rigi
Elspet Gray ... Dorothy Rigi
Yolande Donlan ... Myrtle La Mar
Basil Lord ... Taxi Driver
John Newbury ... Second Taxi Driver
Terrance Denville Terrance Denville ... Landlord (as Terry Denville)
Leo Franklyn Leo Franklyn ... Dr. Bell
Sheila Mercier Sheila Mercier ... Nurse

Which could be more helpful!

To my surprise, I've discovered that the first BBC screening of the film was in the year 2000.
