What happens

All Neat in Black Stockings is a 1969 British comedy-drama directed by Christopher Morahan and starring Victor Henry, Susan George and Jack Shepherd. The screenplay was by Jane Gaskell and Hugh Whitemore based on Gaskell's 1966 novel of the same title. An easygoing window cleaner falls in love with a woman he meets in Swinging London. The movie was the sole lead role for Victor Henry, an acclaimed stage actor who went into a coma in 1972 after a traffic accident, and remained in it until his death in 1985.
