Tons of Trouble (1956)
An afternoon off...
I remember (probably around 1964/5)an afternoon off from school during the week, and this film was on TV. I have a feeling it was coming up to Christmas so perhaps the time off school was part of the Christmas break, but it's a fuzzy memory. Mr Pastry (Richard Hearne) was quite a well known face on TV, especially in children's shows. I can't remember much about the plot of this film(I've learnt a lot more from this site!) but I remember two boilers being a main feature of the story. Since that's so unusual, and who else but the British could script a film around two old heating boilers, I guess that's why it's stuck in my young and impressionable memory, and yes, perhaps a tear was shed at the demise of Mr Pastry's beloved charges!
I wondered what the film was called, and thanks to IMDb, I've found out. Would I like to see it again? Possibly...but maybe the impression it gave me then, should simply be left alone.
