A Run for your Money
15 November 2018
2 welsh miner brothers win £200 and a trip to London. There they accidentally separate with one falling for a confidence trixter, the other getting stuck with a drunken Hugh Griffiths and his harp - fun unsues. A youngish Alec Guiness is the reporter covering their story.

Amiable Ealing comedy with some occasional witty asides - Houston the miner admiring the headroom on the underground - but it lacks the sharpness of the batch of other Ealing comedies around at that time eg Passport to Pimlico, showing at the cinema they visit.

The leads are fine though with Houston just 20 years away from getting his teeth kicked in by Richard Burton atop a cable car

Pleasant enough diversion
