Britain in 1948, and a win on the footbaII pools was a way out of post war austerity. The footbaII pools was a huge industry empIoying 25,000 peopIe and with 10 miIIion punters putting their crosses 1s and 2s into the little boxes on their coupon. lt was everyones dream to win the pooIs and most Britons did not view it as gambIing but as a traditionaI British pastime. EASY MONEY takes a satiricaI Iook at the impact of a pooIs win on your average British punter in the tough days of the Iate 1940s. With humour, suspense and drama the film sought to emphasise the importance of traditional British values of honesty, modesty and hard work! Life isnt aIways better if you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot as some of Britain s best Ioved actors including, Jack Warner, PetuIa Clark, David Tomlinson, Mervyn Johns and Dennis Price wilI prove!! |
