Here Come the Huggetts

Here Come the Huggetts

"Here Come the Huggetts" is a 1948 film, the first of a trio about a working class English family. All three were directed by Ken Annakin and released by Gainsborough Pictures.

Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison headed the cast as factory worker Joe Huggett and his wife Ethel (the couple had been introduced a year earlier in the film "Holiday Camp"), with Petula Clark, Jane Hylton, and Susan Shaw as their young daughters (all named after the actresses portraying them) and Amy Veness as their opinionated grandmother. Although the plot lines of this and its sequels - "Vote for Huggett" and "The Huggetts Abroad" (both 1949) - were slight (they focused on such trivialities as a flighty cousin (Diana Dors) who wrecks the family car, the installation of a telephone, an incursion into municipal politics, and an excursion to South Africa with a diamond smuggler as a fellow passenger), they were the type of light comedies that found favor with British audiences still reeling from the impact of World War II.

Clark, who began her career as a child vocalist on BBC Radio, sang the tune "Walking Backwards" in the film.
