The Punch And Judy Man
Appearing in his second feature film-starring role, comedy legend Tony Hancock gives a memorable performance in this bittersweet comedy of small-town snobbery and one-upmanship.
Content to scratch out a living in the faded seaside town of Piltdown, puppeteer Wally Pinner (Hancock) is unhappily married to Delia (Sylvia Syms), a gift-shop owner with social pretensions. When Wally is invited to perform at the town's anniversary gala reception, however, Delia scents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise the couple's social standing...
