[edit] Synopsis
Turned Out Nice Again begins with a slapstick comedy sequence, highlighting Formby's knockabout credentials. The film quickly develops into a cleverly constructed and well written character comedy, with George Formby as a more competent, sensible figure than the gormless policeman of his previous film, Spare a Copper (1940).
[edit] Plot
George Pearson, an employee at an underwear factory, is caught between his modern wife and his meddling mother. After buying a special yarn and getting his wife to promote it, he has an argument with his boss, Mr Dawson who insults Pearson's wife and refuses to apologise. Peasron then resigns. After finding out that the yarn is actually worth a fair amount, Mr Dawson tries to buy it from Pearson but he has some competition.[1]
[edit] Songs
The songs performs by George Formby in the film are as follows: -
- Auntie Maggies Remedy (Formby/Latta)
- You Can't Go Wrong In These (MacDougal)
