The title is very misleading as it suggests a domestic subject, when it's actually about greyhound racing.

Attractively shot largely on location, and padded out with a rather raw portrayal of the spiv economy in the form of Peter Bull & Desmond Tester (who eleven years earlier had both been in Hitchcock's 'Sabotage') as a shady pair attempting to muscle in on father & daughter Turners' action.

A warmly wholesome shaggy dog's tale about an adorable grey whippet puppy, and the bright-eyed travails of flat-footed pooch 'Blackie' is a veritable canine Rocky of greyhound racing, a good-humoured, sweetly nostalgic 1940s romp, so you'd be barking mad to miss it! 'The Turners of Prospect Road' has a delightfully woolly headed charm that rabid dog lovers will find especially appealing, a well acted, emotionally rewarding drama that bounds joyfully over the finish line to a rousing climax, and should get your weary tail wagging enthusiastically in avid appreciation of this plucky, raven-haired hounds furry entertaining exploits! And once again the hugely talented character actor Wilfrid Lawson delivers another immaculate performance as the kind-hearted proletariat father Will Turner. 'The Turners of Prospect Road' is the gently soothing cinematic equivalent of imbibing a piping hot mug of nut-brown tea and scarfing up one too many generously buttered crumpets!

Wilfred Lawson was a great actor who starred in many thirties and forties films.However he had one by drawback,he was an alcoholic.This is his last starting role.His next credit,in a supporting part,is in 1952.Sadly this is not a distinguished swansong.It centres of the now almost extinct activity of greyhound racing.Lawson plays the owner of a greyhound,whilst Peter Bill Bill plays to type as the villain.It is all very pre.
