Audience Reviews

CinemaSerf 7/10 Nov 14, 2022
Jack Hawkins is "Fletcher" who is tired of working at a furniture company which refuses to adopt his new designs. When he finally reaches the end of his creative tether, he, wife "Helen" (Margaret Leighton) and daughter "Peggy" (June Thorburn) decide to emigrate to Australia! All goes well enough, he quits his job and they start to plan, but soon the daughter falls for a young man, and "Helen" starts to get cold feet... It's a bit of a one-joke film, this, but Hawkins is on good form as was writer William Rose and director Michael Truman and the story moves along, quite wittily on occasion, at one heck of a pace towards an increasingly obvious conclusion. Certainly worth a watch.
