Ha'penny Breeze is a 1950 black and white British film directed by Frank Worth and starring Edwin Richfield, Don Sharp and Gwynneth Vaughan.
[5] David King and his Australian friend Johnny return to a Suffolk coastal village after the Second World War to find the community completely dispirited.
They have little luck encouraging the locals to rejoin them in the boatyard, but set about a project of converting one of their old boats into a pleasure yacht.
[6] They were inspired by low budget films being made in Italy on location, which saved money by not using sets or stars.
They formed their own production company with Conyers and succeeded in raising finance with William Freshman attached as executive producer.
[11] The film was shot in Pin Mill, a small fishing village on the River Orwell in Suffolk.
The acting of the young players and the "locals" is eager, and the backgrounds are both picturesque and authentic.Its integrity and sincerity amply atone for a somewhat untidy script.
