Interesting facts

Here Come the Huggetts is a 1948 British comedy film directed by Ken Annakin and starring Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, Petula Clark, Jane Hylton, Susan Shaw and Amy Veness, with Diana Dors in an early role. It was written by Mabel Constanduros, Denis Constanduros and Peter Rogers and released by Gainsborough Pictures.

Production

Ken Annakin had directed three films for Sydney Box, then head of Gainsborough Pictures. He was ambitious to do other work but Box offered him Here Come the Huggetts. Annakin wrote in his autobiography:I had to delay my dreams and ideas for ‘great films’, and churn out The Huggetts series, because Sydney needed them. ... I owed him a debt and had to earn cash as quickly as possible to pay off the mortgage.

Annakin said he had "a little affair with Susan Shaw" while making the films, although he did not specify which ones.
