He decides that England has nothing to offer him, and that the future for his family is in Australia. He eagerly sets about making emigration plans, and despite the fact that his wife and family are less than enthusiastic about moving to the other side of the world, he disregards their reservations, and presses ahead. Practical and bureaucratic hitches continually threaten to derail the project. Jim must also deal with the opposition of his in-laws, finds himself missing his job, and starts to have doubts himself about the wisdom of the move. However, the snags and pitfalls are finally sorted out, and a firm departure date is set. Then two days before they are due to leave, the Fletchers' daughter meets, and instantly falls in love with, her ideal man after he rescues the family cat, Heathcliff. A good deal of heart-searching ensues before the Fletchers decide whether or not to go ahead with emigration during a delay caused by a missing Heathcliff. Cast{{div col}}
Critical receptionThe Radio Times called the film "A depressing wallow in the sort of whimsy that Ealing foisted upon the world as British Realism";[2] whereas Leonard Maltin was more positive, calling the film a "wry study".[5] References1. ^{{Cite web | url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6b8baddb | title=Touch and Go (1955)}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web | url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/jqj4q/touch-and-go | title=Touch and Go – review | cast and crew, movie star rating and where to watch film on TV and online}} 3. ^{{Cite web | url=http://derekwinnert.com/touch-and-go-1955-jack-hawkins-margaret-johnston-june-thorburn-john-fraser-roland-culver-alison-leggatt-james-hayter-classic-movie-review-2782/ | title=Touch and Go ** (1955, Jack Hawkins, Margaret Johnston, June Thorburn, John Fraser, Roland Culver, Alison Leggatt, James Hayter) – Classic Movie Review 2782 | Derek Winnert}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bafta.org/awards-database.html?year=1955&category=false&award=false|title=British Film Academy awards and nominations for 1955|accessdate=2010-07-24}} 5. ^http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/81393/Touch-and-Go/ External links
