It is based on the play Home at Seven by R. C. Sherriff. The film was Richardson's only work as a film director. It was released on DVD in the UK on 30 June 2014 by Network Distributing.

Plot

The film follows a City of London banker who returns at 7 p.m. to his suburban home in Kent one evening to discover that he has been missing for twenty four hours, despite not remembering the 'lost' day.

Cast

Variety noted "Richardson directs the piece with a straightforward competence." Sight & Sound was more critical considering that " has divided his talent between the principal role and the direction, but the latter is practically non-existent in any cinema sense."
