What's In a Number is a 1948 comedy featuring Richard Massingham. This film blends docudrama elements with humor to explore national insurance in an unconventional way.
This film had a limited release and isn’t widely available on formats beyond VHS, making it a bit of a gem for those interested in obscure British comedies. The scarcity of prints means finding a decent copy can be challenging, but collectors often appreciate the unique perspective it brings to post-war British life. Given its niche appeal, it has generated a modest but dedicated following among enthusiasts who enjoy the blend of humor and social commentary.
