The Huggetts Abroad

The Huggetts Abroad is a 1949 British comedy drama film directed by Ken Annakin and starring Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, Petula Clark and Susan Shaw.

Their truck breaks down in the desert and Joe and his son-in-law Jimmy have to trek across the sand to find help for the family.

This film does not relate to Mr and Mrs Vane Huggett and their family and is not in any way based on their experiences.

Any similarity to actual events, or persons living or dead, is purely coincidental.In a contemporary review, Kine Weekly wrote: "Domestic comedy drama, the latest addition and easily the most colourful of the deservedly popular “Huggett” series.

However, it's with relief not regret that we part company with Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison et al, as this brief series that began in 1948 with Here Come the Huggetts had clearly run out of steam.
