George is in undies

An employee (George Formby) at a cotton factory that produces underwear garments tries to encourage his company to move with the times. A conman (Ronald Ward) tries to fob him off with a supposed fake fabric that turns out to be the real deal.

One of the more intelligently made Formby vehicles and the last one at Ealing Studios before moving to Columbia Pictures, Formby benefits from playing a maturer and less childlike character, very different from most of his other films. There is less slapstick and a greater focus on his domestic life, particularly with his sympathetic wife nicely played by Peggy Bryan, but she is outshone by Eliot Mason as George's mother in one of the best roles of her career playing a dreaded mother in law to Bryan's Peggy. George gets to sing a couple of numbers including 'The Empress of Lancashire' and 'Can't Go Wrong in These'.
