caption | British 1-sheet poster| director = Ken Annakin| producer = Betty E. Box| writer = Mabel ConstandurosDenis ConstandurosAllan MacKinnon| narrator = PlotAfter writing a letter to the local newspaper, calling for the construction of a pleasure garden for a new war memorial, Joe Huggett is overwhelmed by the response from the public. However, his call is awkward for a corrupt local councillor who has plans of his own for the space from which his business can profit. Other people see opportunities of their own in supporting Huggett's plan and he is persuaded to stand for election as a local councillor. In her efforts to help his campaign, Pet gets rather too enthusiastic. Meanwhile, Susan's love life gets complicated when her boyfriend Peter proposes marriage and then finds he has competition.Cast
ProductionKen Annakin was reluctant to make the Huggett films, wanting to work on more ambitious material, but did it as a favour to Sydney Box, head of Gainsborough. He also enjoyed working with the cast.BOOK, Ken, Annakin,weblink So you wanna be a director?, 2001, Tomahawk Press, 40â41,Critical receptionThe Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "the film is well up to the standard set by the first in the series, and relies for its appeal on its homely humour and fine characterisations by Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison as Joe and Ethel Huggett, Susan Shaw and Petula Clark as their daughters and Diana Dors as niece Diana. Strong support is rendered by the remainder of the cast."WEB, Vote for Huggett,weblink petulaclark.net, TV Guide described Vote for Huggett as "one of three films in the rather dismal 'Huggett Family' series".WEB, Vote For Huggett,weblinkweblink 24 June 2015, TVGuide, The Radio Times praised Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison, "wonderful as mum and dad and yes, that's a young Diana Dors as the troublesome niece".WEB, Baxter, Brian, Vote for Huggett,weblinkweblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20150624160435weblink">weblink 24 June 2015, RadioTimes, In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928â1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Standard Huggett shenanigans, quite entertaining."BOOK, Quinlan, David, British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928â1959, Batsford Books, B.T.
