A Run for Your Money (1949)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 83m
Director: Charles Frend
Cast: Alec Guinness, Meredith Edwards, Moira Lister, Donald Houston

Synopsis:

Two Welsh brothers travel to London to see a rugby match and teach the immoral city-dwellers a thing or two.

Review:

Predictable but brisk comedy which upholds the Ealing tradition of poeticising the colourful details of our national character: patriotism, resilience and moral fibre. Thus, far from seeing the match, one brother buys an engagement ring and reforms a confidence trickster while the other brings home an old comrade and his harp, and together they move a music hall audience to sing All Through the Night! Disarmingly affectionate for all its stereotypical Welshness, it enjoys a fine cast and expert cinematography (Slocombe), not to mention some specially orchestrated British folk tunes (Ernest Irving).
