Vote for Huggett (1949)

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

The typical English family the Huggetts are back in another leisurely entry in the series. This time Dad writes a letter to the editor which gets him embroiled in local politics. He ends up running for councilman, much to the chagrin of Mom who worries about the responsibilities of being a councilman's wife, such as public speeches or entertaining royalty. Susan Huggett uncovers a plot to slander Dad's name by way of a bogus land deal. Little Petula Huggett organizes a poster campaign. It's all innocent fun from a bygone era in suburban England.
