(also known as Nothing To Lose) is a 1952 British comedy film directed by Lewis Gilbert and starring Eddie Byrne, Jane Barrett and Raymond Lovell.

Sir Digby Montague, the head of the council and one of the local magistrates, plans to sentence him to a week in gaol.

Among other things, the rules dictate that he be washed by the matron every night and wear a uniform in the manner of a Chelsea Pensioner.

Bill Jordan, who is sympathetic to Dan's plight and attracted to Sally, reminds the councillors that an election will be held before the Prime Minister's visit.

He discovers that the rents for the extensive lands indicated on a map are supposed to go to the upkeep of the almshouses, with any remainder distributed between the inmates daily.

With the council elections coming up, Mr. Spink, who owns the local factory, suggests that Dan run for office.

Dan is uninterested at first, but soon decides he will, and he is joined by Bill Jordan, Spink and Mary Wade, the shopkeeper who now employs Sally.

John Grierson head of Group 3 said it was "gentle nose thumbing" and hoped it could be as good as The Digger's Daughter or The Baker's Wife.

While showing no particular flair for comedy, Lewis Gilbert's direction is competent; but the dialogue is often extremely laborious, intent on ramming home each gag.

Eddie Byrne, clearly too youthful for the part of Dan, gives an agreeable enough performance, though lacking the personal magnetism which could carry a film of this type.
