He Snoops to Conquer DVD

| DVD

George Fomby is joined by Robertson Hare in this fabulous 194s British Musical comedy, available for the very first time on DVD. The war is over and it's time to build a better Britain - but not if the crooks on Tangleton Town Council have their way! Knocking down Tangleton's slums will ruin their business interests. When Council tea boy George Gribble (George Formby) is employed to go door-to-door filing in a council survey, he uncovers just how poor and unhappy the townspeople are - and the Council have to bury the results. He also gets to meet the eccentric and... reclusive inventor Sir Timothy Stawbridge (Robertson Hare) - a meeting that results in wanton destruction with a mechanised road sweeper, a spot of house breaking and a furious police chase! When news gets out that the survey has been hushed up, the townspeople want George's blood - and the only way he can set things right is to team up with Sir Timothy's beautiful daughter and take on all the bigwigs from the council!

A pair of reporters from London come to investigate possible corruption in a town's postwar plans and are helped out by the unwitting handyman who is ordered to destroy some important housing forms to cover up the political scheming. An accident sends these forms flying in the wind.

1940s comedy starring George Formby as a junior council employee who gets caught up in a town planning dispute. There should be unity and happiness in the small town of Tangleton - the war has just been won and plans can be made to rebuild the town for a better future. However, when the council tea boy, George Gribble (Formby), is sent to conduct a survey on how the townspeople feel about the council's proposed post-war 'improvements' he is surprised to discover just how poor and unhappy the ordinary people of Tangleton are. When the bigwigs on the council decide to bury the survey and proceed with the plans anyway, George teams up with an eccentric inventor, Sir Timothy Strawbridge (Robertson Hare), and his charming daughter, Jane (Elizabeth Allan), to give a voice to the town's poor and downtrodden.
