Here Come the Huggetts (1948)


Gainsborough Pictures
Directed by Ken Annakin
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

The Huggetts are a typical suburban English family at the end of WWII. Dad works at the factory, mom is a housewife and their three daughters are going through various growing pains. Enter bombshell Diana Dors, a troubled cousin dropped onto their doorstep. She gets an office job at Dad's factory but bungles an order and almost gets him fired. The youngest daughter suspects her of breaking up her parent's marriage. She goes dancing with another daughter's boyfriend. Enjoyable if predictable fluff whose main interest today is a glimpse at the daily life of a bygone era.
