Synopsis:

From T.E.B Clarke, Ealing Studios most famed writer and creator of such classics as The Lavender Hill Mob and The Titfield Thunderbolt, comes a film that reflected his passionate interest in the sport of horse racing and formed a template for future sporting movies. The Rainbow Jacket tells the story of a shamed jockey who is banned from racing after taking a bribe. Undeterred by his misfortune he takes on a young protégé and decides to train him up as the next champion. But as financial ruin rears its ugly head will they give in to corruption or finally beat the odds? Known for its authenticity, The Rainbow Jacket manages to capture the exciting world of the British racetrack in great detail. Featuring early appearances from future stars Bill Owen (The Last of the Summer Wine), Robert Morley (Curtain Up) and Honor Blackman (Goldfinger, The Avengers).
