Home and Away is a 1956 British second feature drama film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison. It depicts the life of an ordinary working-class man after he wins the football pools. The film reunited Warner and Harrison who had previously appeared together in the Huggetts series of films.
After years of doing the football pools every week, Dad George Knowles (Jack Warner) is one day stunned to find all his score draws have come up and he's won the "treble Chance" jackpot. As George and family celebrate with an impromptu party, his son Johnnie (Bernard Fox) arrives home and drops a bombshell. It turns out the coupon is his and his workmate Sid Jarvis' (Harry Fowler). But when Sid's gold digging and wanton mother (Valerie White) finds out about the windfall she decides to lock her son up in order to keep him away from his share of the fortune.
TV Guide noted, "A few entertaining moments."
