1hr 25mins
Dir: C. M. Pennington-Richards
Starring: Peggy Mount and Dandy Nichols

A group of office cleaners save their neighbourhood from redevelopment after making a fortune on the stock exchange

This glorious comedy, quintessential and charming throughout, has an opening shot overlooking Battersea where at least one steam hauled train is visible.

A steam-hauled train heads along the southwestern main line towards Clapham Junction. This is Battersea, and the blitz ravaged landscape in the foreground has yet to be redeveloped. Grayson Road is stretching out in the distance.
