Grant is in uncharacteristic mode as a skiving, drunken bum seeing out WW2 on a South Sea island. Bribed into coast watching for the Aussie Navy, he takes to his task quite happily until the arrival of a shapely French schoolteacher and her seven small charges. A light-hearted saccharine romance.

STATE OF THE UNION (1948)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Based on Howard Lindsay's Pulitzer winning play, State Of The Union revolves around an idealistic industrial magnate's decision to enter politics and run for the presidency.
