There's Always a Thursday is a 1957 British crime film directed by Charles Saunders and starring Charles Victor, Jill Ireland, Lloyd Lamble and Robert Raglan. Much of the film was shot at Southall Studios. Comedy about a down-trodden clerk's new found fame as the director of a racy lingerie firm, after an innocent encounter with a fast woman is misreported and earns him the reputation of a suburban Romeo. Charles Victor as George Potter Frances Day as Vera Clandon Marjorie Rhodes as Marjorie Potter Bruce Seton as James Pelly Robert Raglan as Crosby Jill Ireland as Jennifer Potter Richard Thorp as Dennis Potter Lloyd Lamble as Detective Sergeant Bolton Patrick Holt as Middleton Ewen Solon as Inspector Bradley Alex Macintosh as TV Interviewer Reginald Hearne as Bannister Deidre Mayne as Miss Morton Glen Alyn as Mrs. Middleton Alexander Field as Tramp Martin Boddey as Sergeant TV Guide wrote that a "good performance by Victor and an intelligent script lift this one above the ranks." The film historians Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane agree: "The film is quite neatly structured but, without the coherence which Victor's sympathetic understanding of the central character gives, it would seem much thinner than it does.

Its comedy centres on the drabness of an oppressive domestic situation and, in the flowering of George Potter, what may be lost in unthinking conformity to a routine." There's Always a Thursday on IMDb
