She Knows Y' Know

Hylda Worswick makes it har mission to prevent her son from a marriage to Marilyn Smallhope, who's found herself pregnant.

It's a very enjoyable film from 1962, it's funny, it's charming, it displays many commonly felt attitudes of the time. Pregnancy, marriage, duty, all are explored here, attitudes really were so incredibly different, families so worried about shame, the class wars, it feels like hundreds of years back, not just sixty.

I adore Hylda Baker, I just love her unique brand of humour, and of course she's great, it must have been hard to find roles for someone so unique, she would definitely find her place with Nearest and Dearest and Not on your Nellie. Her mishaps with words are present, but used sparingly.

Joan Sanderson was great here as the opposing battleaxe, Marilyn's mother, she had such a stoic delivery, it's funny she looks as old here as she would thirty years later in After Henry.

Neighbour Jenny was funny, amusing the way she kept on popping in to borrow things.

7/10.
