John Mills stars in this celebrated adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic. Mr Polly is a sensitive soul, idling away his days as a humble draper's assistant until one day he is abruptly sacked for daydreaming at work. His well-ordered life is plunged into chaos, until his father's death suddenly brings him a large inheritance. Mr Polly splashes out on a brand new bicycle and sets off to explore the world and seek out grand adventure. A doomed love affair quickly destroys his new found dreams. The bicycle is stored away and Mr Polly opens up his own draper's shop in a dismal little town. Fifteen years later finds him unhappily married and almost bankrupt. His thoughts drift towards suicide - but there may yet be another avenue of escape for the hapless Mr Polly.
