A quite amusing regional comedy with some realistic sets including a football terrace and a good cast which is certainly more amusing than some of the films of forgotten Thirties star Leslie Fuller I have seen, though the plot about a family who believe they have won a fortune on the pools has been used several times since. An amusing performance from Marion Dawson, whose career was sadly soon to come to an end due to an eye injury, as the cadging neighbour and Mary Jerrold is good as Fuller's supportive wife.

The popularity of the pools

Warning: Spoilers
This film utilises a plotline that was used a number of times into the fifties.Namely the winning of the pools only to find out that the coupon had never been posted.Leslie Fuller thinks he has won £20000 worth just under a million today.His wife has a nightmare as to how Fuller finds a younger woman and becomes a spendthrift.When the error is discovered it actually brings the couple together.Simple fare.
