Saturday Cinema: Turned Out Nice Again

on BBC Two England

starring George Formby, with Peggy Bryan, Edward Chapman
George Pearson is factory foreman at Dawson's Underwear factory and when he gets promoted to overseer, the rise is enough for him to get married. Unfortunately for George and Lydia, his mum wants to go on their honeymoon. This is not only one of the great Lancashire comedian's best films, but as a social comedy it is both sophisticated and accurate in its observation and in its anticipation of Women's Lib.
