Hollywood quite often rewrote history to suit their scripts, I remember in the 50's we were quite fortunate Dad managed to buy a TV which in those days had lovely wood cabinets nice bit of furniture.
Sundays was the day we all sat down to dinner together, we had Sunday dinner then all hands to the pump to clear the table, my twin sister and I had to wash up which I had to be done before the Sunday afternoon film started.
It was more often than not a war film, one week it would be battle at sea, or in the desert , or on a bombing raid John Mills seem to be in all of them , he had a rough war you would have thought they would have given him at least one Sunday off to have a rest.
The film I still like to this day that I saw back then was Hobsons Choice, all based around a shoe shop in Salford Charles Laughton was the drunken owner of the shop John Mills was the boot boy , and the actor who later played Albert Tatlock in the Coronation Street the other boot hand .
Anyone remember that one , it still make me laugh when I watch it again today
