Which British classic film ends with a couple dancing in a ballroom? : Tip Of My Tongue

Which British classic film ends with a couple dancing in a ballroom?

Aight, need some real film buffs here. Remember watching this beautiful classic British film, must've been from late 50s or early 60s. It's a love story and ends with couple dancing in a ballroom. The leading lady's wearing a red dress - she's a right knock-out, petite, short hair. The bloke has a mustache and a sleek suit, kinda reminds me of a less comedic Rowan Atkinson. Been through lists of old British films, but no luck. Little help here, anyone?

Hmm, possibly 'The Slipper and the Rose'? But the dates are off, it's from 1976. Plus it's Cinderella, so probably not. But there's certainly a ballroom scene and a fancy red dress!

`Sounds like you're mixing up a couple films there, mate. Short-haired leading lady in red brings to mind Audrey Hepburn in 'Funny Face', but that's 1957, American and she dances in a nightclub, not a ballroom. The mustached bloke element could apply to a number of David Niven or Rex Harrison films, both very active in 50s and 60s, but nothing specific jumps to mind with that ballroom ending. I'd suggest revisiting some of the classic Ealing comedies and London films. Let's narrow down this film mystery! 🕵️‍♂️

I reckon it might be 'I'm All Right Jack'. With Peter Sellers. Or maybe not. Just taking a wild punt here. 🎬

This could be one of the films in the 'Lost and Found' category of the British Film Institute's list. Meaning, it could have been lost or it's under restoration because of damaged film. They're not readily available to the public, so maybe that's why you can't find it. 🤷‍♂️

Wait! I think I know the one! Is it that haunting tale of love, really stirring drama... 'Carry On Dancing'! 🤣 Nah, just messing with ya, mate. Good luck finding your film!

Oh, how I hate when this happens! It's right on your tongue but won't come out. Don't remember any film like this, but I hope you find it. Maybe it was a TV movie?

Really? Scoured lists of British films and didn't find it? This sounds a lot like 'Brief Encounter'. Except for the ballroom part, of course. And the dress. And the mustache... Okay, maybe not. 🎥

Hmm... could it be 'The Servant' (1963)? It's not exactly a romantic film but it's British, it's got your time frame, and the leading man Dirk Bogarde vaguely fits your description. I remember a gorgeous ballroom scene but I'm not sure if it's at the end. The lady wasn't often in red though. Good luck!
