So for me this is a big deal even if it's such a tiny clip and you can slap me around the face with a wet fish and call me Gladys but i'm almost certain this is Rita as an extra in the 1949 Ealing film "A Run For Your Money" Rita is seen briefly waiting in queue to enter the theatre with a man in hat and coat as Alec Guiness is first in line to gain entry. apparently her brother Henry Webb is supposed to be in the film but I cannot find him but scanning every bit of the film I found this! okay if someone comes forward and tells me it's their Aunt Fanny I'll stand corrected but otherwise to me it's Rita the timing fits the brother connection fits the height, weight and ample bosom fit and not forgetting the face and her famous nose! she's wearing a coat, headscarf and fur it's gotta be Rita right? or am I being blindsided....
