"Good head for business your daughter..."Henry Hobson (Charles Laughton), a widower, runs a successful bootmaker's shop, and three disgruntled daughters, as he is determined none will marry, and leave him to fend for himself. But Hobson comes up against an immoveable object, in daughter Maggie (Brenda de Banzie). For Maggie has found Will Mossop (John Mills), the best leather worker in Salford, and has a plan to make her father allow her marriage.
A class production all round, from the script, through direction and especially the acting. All combine to make it a delight to watch the story unfold.
