She was making MTV Videos back in the 40s, she was a real Pioneer.

For any history buffs-that truck is a CMP-canadian military pattern made in mass numbers for the war-some are still around, they are worth a fair bit for old trucks of their type. I heard she was a child star-nice to see this old stuff, thanks for posting it!!

[@derekhuggett]

Thank you.

[@azamrisabri1596]

she's so cute since young and had a magical voice

[@poohbearrichie72]

Well our Pet must have her own secret to remain young as she will be 89 this November amazing! 😉

[@c.syde65]

That's if she's still alive by that time. But I think she has a good sporting chance.

@@c.syde65 Petula was on stage in London in “Mary Poppins” on her 89th birthday and was surprised with a birthday cake by producer Cameron Mackintosh and the whole cast sang “Downtown” as well as “Happy birthday “

Saw Petula in a Huggets film recently, she is only a year younger than Diana Dors yet what a difference is appearance !!

JUST WATCH THE FILM The Huggetts Abroad & WONDERED WHERE IS THAT PRETTY CHILD NOW. and what became of her 🤔long forgotten child actor..SO i DID A GOOGLE SEARCH & FOUND OUT IT WAS PETULA CLAKE ! WOW 🤔🤭 DOWN TOWN was the first record i was given and played as a child, how ironic

[@italia689]

here she is in the country. 15 years later she would go downtown...

[@onemon22]

I bought the series on DVD of these movies, enjoyed them all. They were hard to find so I had to go through Amazon dot com

[@kenmitchell6583]

great

[@littleshoemaker]

I bet she didn't think she would be! And you can see that she's a great performer even there. LOL yeah let's request it.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

I love Petula, she's like the young american but is popular in europe version of Kathryn Beaumont from Disney's 'Alice in Wonderland'. It's sad she's old now, beauty truly fades but someday in heaven, the beauty will come back, many times even. God bless, Revelation 21:4

[@c.syde65]

Petula is British. Or did I misunderstand the meaning of your statement?

[@ilovemovies725]

You can stuff it , Pet doesn't need all those bible sermons and she's still radiant. She's 91, alive and well and still sings loud , out and proud for our greatest joy! She's "uptown " with the best and greatest and she's still here with us!

[@TheNordog]

I'm sure mum took me to see that film after its release and it got to Frome, O must have been just five years old.

[@bluewingtip]

Wonder how much these people had to practice this silly tongue twister before they could let it roll off their lips with such easy??? Thanks for the post. I enjoyed seeing young Petula.

[@italia689]

unbelievably cute

[@gpwerner]

She is ridiculously cute here.

[@littleshoemaker]

It's available on The Huggetts Collection on DVD.

HAD TO GET THIS INTO MY SECRET "PCC"

[@f9mike]

what is the film of the huggers abroad?

[@littleshoemaker]

I didn't realise it was dubbed. I wouldn't have thought there was much point, but if his voice was that bad...

[@keithammleter3824]

Weird. The front of the truck is rocking like a little boat being passed by a very big boat, but the back is stable. I reckon the noise of a CMP truck would drown out any singing or talking anyway, given the type of transmission and the flattie V8 geared down as it was. No way could the men in the cab hear what the girls in the back are doing,

[@mikeyenfield]

This is 1948 British film land .all done in the studio and nothing like reality !

[@keithammleter3824]

@@mikeyenfield : More or less. The scenery shot first on location, then back projected in the studio, with stage hands rocking the truck. And the sound recorded later in a sound studio and added to the final cut of the film. Probably the scenes of the driver and his mate shot on a different day to the girls, so the stage hands inadvertently applied a different rocking. A "continuity" person is supposed to spot this sort of inconsistency.

[@mikeyenfield]

@@keithammleter3824 Very low budget in those days!

[@keithammleter3824]

@@mikeyenfield : Indeed. If it was a mainstream American movie in 1948, they would have spent $100,000 recreating an outback desert in a sound studio. In this case in Britain they probably paid someone a few hundred $ to go out with a 16 mm camera and shoot some footage for back projection. However, despite British film outfits spending very little money by American standards, they still mostly produced very good films of better entertainment value.

[@mikeyenfield]

@@keithammleter3824 Absolutely and the Huggett trilogy was very popular with British audiences in those post war years and it was Petula Clark’s first recording only released as a promotion by the Rank Film Organization to Radio and cinemas

[@peteremmert8551]

Too bad Petula couldn't learn some guitar instead of her faking playing it!

[@stefanrichard4986]

Wow.
