TOUCH AND GO (1955)

Touch and Go (U.S. The Light Touch) is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Michael Truman and starring Jack Hawkins, Margaret Johnston, and June Thorburn. The film was made by Ealing Studios. The film was indifferently received on release and is not generally included in the canon of classic Ealing Comedies. It did however pick up two nominations at the 1956 British Academy Film Awards: Margaret Johnston for ‘Best British Actress’ and William Rose for ‘Best British Screenplay’ – Rose did win that year’s screenplay award but for another Ealing film, The Ladykillers.
