Overview
This film is one of a good number which were made to promote National Savings – and in this case the ambitious storyline involves nearly-thwarted romance and a whirlwind wedding. It all builds up to an urgent call to women to see the benefits of a savings account to "help your man to win that better way of life we are all fighting for".
