Based on the play of the same name by Harold Brighouse, Charles Laughton and John Mills star in this tale of a hapless 19th century bootmaker attempting to bring up a trio of wilful daughters in between regualr visits to his local pub.

Watch out for Prunella Scales, now best known as Sybil in Fawlty Towers, in one of her first screen roles.
