About The Huggetts Abroad
Life is not going well for the Huggetts. Father has lost his job. Jimmy and his wife cannot get to South Africa where he has a new job. So the family decide that they should go to South Africa by truck. With their travelling companion they travel across the desert which includes a brush with the law.
Directed by Ken Annakin, The Huggetts Abroad leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, Dinah Sheridan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1949.
