"Director Roy Boulting arrives at Odeon" - he's arriving with his brother, John Boulting.
Girl described as "Bunchie Mills" is better known to us as actress Juliet Mills, "Bunchie" being her family nickname.
Finlay Currie is dressed as Magwitch (the escaped convict in Great Expectations).
"Dulcie Grey" should read Dulcie Gray.
