A fine film, especially for 1941. Strong cast too and George Cole’s first film at 15 years old – he shows he was a natural. From Wikipedia –
Aged 15, Cole was cast in the film Cottage to Let (1941) opposite Scottish actor Alastair Sim. Sim liked Cole, and agreed with his family to take in Cole and his mother to their home. Acting as his mentor, Sim helped Cole lose his Cockney accent; Cole stayed with the Sim family until he was 27.

Well worth watching.
