Those People Next Door is a 1953 British comedy film directed by John Harlow and starring Jack Warner, Charles Victor and Marjorie Rhodes.

[2] In Second World War era Britain, working-class Sam Twigg and his wife Mary are raising their family in the shadow of the Blitz.

Their next door neighbours Joe and Emma practically live in the Twiggs’ house, borrowing cups of sugar or using their Anderson shelter.

The picture is a trifle class-conscious during its penultimate ‘"posh" sequences, but its domestic touches and recreation of conditions during the worst of the bombing periods are very true to life and produce both laughs and tears.

Unfortunately, the characters were too unsympathetic and the piece still ran like a play, but the same distributors had better luck a couple of years later when they reunited Warner with Kathleen Harrison in Home and Away [1956].
