Birth 15 december 1896
Death 28 june 1963 (at 66 years)

Olive Sloane (16 December 1896 – 28 June 1963) was an English actress whose film career spanned over 40 years from the silent era through to her death. Sloane's career trajectory was unusual in that for most of her professional life she was essentially an anonymous bit part actress, and her best, most substantial roles did not come until relatively late in her career when she was in her 50s. Her most famous film appearance is the 1950 production Seven Days to Noon.

The plot features Sellers as a naive but caring prison chaplain accidentally assigned as vicar to a small and prosperous country town of Orbiston Parva, in place of Ian Carmichael's upper class cleric, with whom he shares a name. His belief in charity and forgiveness sets him at odds with the locals, whose assertions that they are good, Christian people are in Smallwood's view belied by their behaviour and ideas. He creates social ructions by appointing a black dustman (Brock Peters) as his churchwarden, taking in a gypsy family, and persuading local landowner Lady Despard (Isabel Jeans) to provide free food for the church to distribute free to the people of the town. However, all his good works lead to trouble.

An unmarried vicar, the Reverend Howard Phillips (Anthony Quayle), newly arrived in the parish, attempts to force local 19-year-old thug and petty criminal Larry Thompson (Andrew Ray) to face up to his responsibilities to Mary Williams (Leigh Madison), the naive young girl he has impregnated. Tempers are lost, a struggle ensues, and in retaliation Thompson accuses Phillips of 'interfering' with him. The episode is witnessed by Hester Peters (Sarah Churchill), the daughter of the parish’s previous clergyman, who had become infatuated with the athletic and handsome new vicar. However, having earlier seen a young girl (Mary) leaving the vicarage late one night (she had sought the vicar's advice about her pregnancy), Hester jumps to the conclusion the two are romantically linked and, 'a fury like a woman scorned', refuses to contradict Thompson's palpably false accusation. Mary is killed shortly afterwards; discovering Thompson kissing another girl at a bus shelter, she blindly flees across the road into the path of a car.
