7 mar 2023 · The Happy Family. A defiant London family fights valiantly to retain their South Bank home in this cheerful comedy set around 1951's Festival of Britain. Comedy 1952 82 mins. Watch for free.
1951’s Festival of Britain was considered a morale booster for a post-war, austerity-weary nation – but not so for one aggrieved London family. Ordered to vacate their shop and home on the South Bank to make way for the Festival, the Lord family stands their ground in a siege against the system.
A British working family against the government in a humorous satire of a manipulative bureaucracy and good old fashioned stubbornness. Captures the spirit of a cackling family refusing to budge and a increasingly annoyed officials trying to get the job done in the simplest and well-mannered way possible. Good time fighting off authority.
