Art imitates art?

Warning: Spoilers
Has anyone else had the feeling that a young Lennon and McCartney were influenced by Coward and Lean?

The scene where Queenie leaves could be a perfect video accompaniment to "She's Leaving Home". It matches the lyric step for step.

This strikes me every time I see the film. I imagine a late night composing session, with a break where the boys sit down and catch the the British equivalent of "Late Late Show", and are inspired by this quietly powerful scene. It would be interesting to know when this film was in rotation on British television.

Anyone else?
