Cup-Tie Honeymoon (1948)

Filmed in Rusholme, Manchester, for the great Mancunian Film Corporation, Cup-tie Honeymoon is a riotous post-war comedy from the North of England where the gags come quicker than the team`s wingers! Joe Butler (Sandy Powell) is the soccer-mad son of the company chairman, who has to decide which team he will play for in a cup-tie: his school or his father`s. If he makes the right decision he can also score with his dad`s pretty secretary! Features an excellent supporting cast of Dan Young, Betty Jumel and Pat Phoenix, most of the film was shot on local streets and at Manchester City`s Maine Road stadium.
