Storyline
The Larkin family lives on a farm in rural England, in the county of Kent. Proud of all his children, the father, Sidney ‘Pop’ schemes evidently provide well for the family, enough to fund boarding school for the twins, naval boarding school for Monty, a swimming pool, a fairground, and a holiday to France, although he is just as motivated by doing good and helping others as making a profit.

“You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.”
