Easy Money, a satirical 1948 British film about one of the most beloved traditions of the English middle class, the football pool, is composed of four tales about the effect a major win has on four different groups in the postwar period. Written by Muriel and Sydney Box and directed by Bernard Knowles, it was released by Gainsborough Pictures.
Critics at the time noted the film was faintly reminiscent of the allstar 1932 Hollywood release If I Had a Million. It earned mixed reviews, but proved to be popular with audiences still reeling from the effects of World War II seeking lighthearted entertainment.Gainsborough Melodrama, edited by Sue Aspinall and Robert Murphy, published by the British Film Institute, London, 1983 ........
