The Constant Husband

The Constant Husband is a 1955 British comedy film, directed by Sidney Gilliat and starring Rex Harrison, Margaret Leighton, Kay Kendall, Cecil Parker, George Cole and Raymond Huntley. The story was written by Gilliat together with Val Valentine, and the film was produced by Individual Pictures, Gilliats and Frank Launders joint production company. Because the film got caught up in the 1954 bankruptcy of British Lion Film Corporation, it wasnt released until more than seven months after it had been finished and reviewed by the British Board of Film Censors.

The film was made in Shepperton Studios, with shooting finished in early June 1954, just a week after the studios owner and the films intended distributor, British Lion Film Corporation, went into receivership onJune 1954. The opening scenes were filmed on location at New Quay and Aberaeron, Ceredigion, Mid Wales, and others at Kensington, Millbank, Wormwood Scrubs, Holborn, and St. Pauls, London. When the film was screened by the censors at BBFC onSeptember 1954, it was submitted by Frank Launders company Launder Productions, as it didnt yet have a new distributor. In January 1955, Launder, Gilliat and the Boulting brothers formed a new company, British Lion Films Ltd., which took over the running of Shepperton as well as British Lions distribution business, and the film could finally see its world premiere at the London Pavilion onApril 1955.
