Vote For Huggett (1949)

I like Jack Warner and love the Huggetts, so some years back bought the DVD of their 4 films, but it's strange as my wife and I don't remember this one - maybe because the others were stronger and funnier films.................or maybe it's because old age really has kicked in now.

Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed this post war game of larks and the chance to see a 17 year old Petula Clark (playing more like 15), a gorgeous 18 year old Diana Dors and a same age Anthony Newley in a minor part hoping to look 15 too.

Kathleen Harrison as Jack's long suffering wife as always, and a very brief appearance again of an uncredited Esma Cannon in a bit part.

Watched it again as it was on TPTV - very good film, which I enjoyed all over again.

I have the box set of the Huggetts Collection. Very enjoyable films. With Kathleen Harrison & Jack Warner what could go wrong?

Me too.

Do you believe in coincidences ?
I had never heard of Vote for Huggets or anything about them.

Then today, I watched an episode of 'Just good friends and Daphne compared the Pinners to either the Beverly hills billies or the Huggets.

It developed into a popular radio series after the four films had run their course.
