The Briggs Family is a 1940 British second feature ('B')[2] drama film directed by Herbert Mason and starring Edward Chapman, Felix Aylmer, Jane Baxter, Oliver Wakefield and Austin Trevor.
During the Second World War, a special constable and former solicitor is called upon to defend his son who is accused of the theft of a car.
Due to the criticism of the characters not being true to life plans to make further sequels and a series of 'Briggs' films were dropped.
Edward Chapman makes a real personality of Mr. Briggs but the rest are stock types and not individuals.
From thence on the picture comes into its own, and it holds the emotions in a firm grip until it culminates in the shrewdly presented and handled court scene.
