Photograph titled 'Brigitte puts the clock back at St Pancras'. Caption on back reads: 'London: French film actress Brigitte Bardot, sometimes called the "sex-kitten", makes many men wish they could put the clock back. And at St Pancras Station this morning Brigitte appears to have done just that. For her part in the film "Babette Goes to War", set partly in wartime London, notices such as "Freedom is in peril...defend it with all your might" and "Fall in the fire-bomb fighters" have sprouted all over. And Brigitte herself gets the eye from two wartime "Tommies"!'
