Fly away Peter (1948) Frederick Piper, Margaret Barton

The success of the Huggett family films with Jack Warner & Kathleen Harrison may have influenced the production of this film about the middle class Hapgood family. In "Fly away Peter" parents Frederick Piper & Kathleen Boutall try to cope with the problems of their three grown up children, one of whom is played by Margaret Barton, who is best remembered for her role in the classic film "Brief Encounter". Also in the cast as the couple's middle child is John Singer who entered films aged 6 in 1929, appearing in over 50 films until joining the armed forces in 1942. "Fly away Peter" was his first film after the war, and was produced by J.Arthur Rank's B film unit at Highbury Studios. It has never been transmitted on UK tv, or been released on VHS or dvd, although a sequel film made in 1952 did receive its UK tv premiere a couple of years ago on Talking Pictures TV. This rare screening of the original film was taken from a screening on the ABC Network in Australia in 2002.
