There’s Always a Thursday *** (1957, Charles Victor, Marjorie Rhodes, Frances Day, Patrick Holt, Jill Ireland, Bruce Seton) – Classic Movie Review 13,725

The 1957 British comedy film There’s Always a Thursday stars Charles Victor as a down-trodden bank clerk who finds fame as the director of a racy lingerie firm.

Director Charles Saunders’s 1957 British comedy film There’s Always a Thursday stars Charles Victor, Marjorie Rhodes, Frances Day, Patrick Holt, Jill Ireland, and Bruce Seton.

There’s Always a Thursday is a conscientious comic effort with excellent, detailed work from Charles Victor as a browbeaten bank clerk called George Potter, who is wrongly thought to be a ladies’ man thanks to his all-talk brother-in-law James Pelly (Bruce Seton), and made head of an underwear firm making racy lingerie. George Potter (Victor) is sweet on a fast woman called Vera Clandon (Frances Day), who asks for £20 at his bank every Thursday. Marjorie Rhodes is also especially amusing as Marjorie Potter.

There’s Always a Thursday is quite amusing, with a nicely written story and screenplay by Brandon Fleming, and well played by the nifty cast, and it is pleasantly easy going domestic comedy entertainment as it’s only an hour long. Good script, two good star performances, what else do you need? It is a likable little movie.

In another star role, Charles Victor also plays a bank clerk in The Embezzler.

Cast: Charles Victor, Marjorie Rhodes, Frances Day, Patrick Holt, Jill Ireland, Bruce Seton, Glen Alyn, Ewen Solon, Lloyd Lamble, Alex McIntosh, Deirdre Mayne, Lance George, Richard Thorp, Howard Greene, Geoff Goodhart, Martin Boddey, Edward Malin.

It was shot at Southall Studios, London.
