One Good Turn is a 1955 British comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Norman Wisdom, Joan Rice, Shirley Abicair and Thora Hird. It was written by Maurice Cowan, Carstairs, Ted Willis, Sid Colin and Talbot Rothwell.

Production

Producer Maurice Cowan made Wisdom's first film and wrote the story for his third. He so disliked working with Wisdom on this film that he never produced another film for the comedian.

According to Hugh Stewart, who became Wisdom's main producer, the film "was not particularly good. Paddy - who is very expert but only gets annoyed with people when they really don't know what they're talking about, wouldn't tolerate another film with Maurice."
