Brandy for the Parson (1952 John Eldridge)

James Donald and Jean Lodge are inveigled into helping crap smuggler Kenneth More deal with fourteen barrels of brandy. Also involved are Charles Hawtrey, Michael Trubshawe (who in support of his friend David refers to his housekeeper as 'Mrs Niven'), Alfie Bass, Reginald Beckwith, Frank Tickle (vicar), pursued by Frederick Piper.

Written by John Dighton and Walter Meade, novel Geoffrey Household - title is Kipling. Shot by Martin Curtis, music John Addison. Film is produced by John Grierson.

Traffic accident scene where passengers talk in farmyard sounds is funny, though seems to be belong to another film altogether.
