'''''She Knows Y'Know''''' is a 1962 black and white [[British comedy]] film directed by [[Montgomery Tully]] and starring comedienne [[Hylda Baker]]. The film takes its title from Hylda Baker's best known catch-phrase.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/She-Knows-YKnow-Hylda-Baker/dp/B005GV6QH4 |title=She Knows Y'Know [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Hylda Baker, Cyril Smith, Joe Gibbons, Montgomery Tully: DVD & Blu-ray |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref> The [[British Film Institute|BFI]] describes the film, which was made on a low-budget, as a "low life comedy, unfolded against an [[industrial town]] backdrop".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b76a93c1c |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120805042802/http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b76a93c1c |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-08-05 |title=She Knows Y'know | BFI | BFI |publisher=Explore.bfi.org.uk |date= |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref>

==Plot==
In the [[Northern England|North of England]] in the 1950s, the lives of two very different families become entwined. The Worswicks are a [[working class]] family led by domineering mother Hylda (Hylda Baker) with husband Joe (Cyril Smith) and academically bright son Leslie (Peter Myers). Neighbours the Smallhopes are aspiring [[middle class]], led by mother Euphemia (Joan Sanderson), husband Clarence (Neil Wilson), with attractive daughter Marilyn (Linda Castle), whose sudden pregnancy is the catalyst for unfolding dramas involving both families.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moviemail.com/film/dvd/She-Knows-Yknow/ |title=She Knows, Y'know DVD | Classic Movies | Films by Movie Mail UK |publisher=Moviemail.com |date=2011-10-03 |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdgold.co.uk/classics/134440-She-Knows-YKnow-5060172960545.html |title=She Knows, Y'know |publisher=dvdgold |date= |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
More recent reception, of the DVD re-issue, has been mixed.
*''[[TV Guide]]'' described it as a "mindless sex comedy...Typical ribald British innuendoes abound."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.tvguide.com/she-knows-yknow/review/126570 |title=She Knows Y'Know Review |publisher=Movies.tvguide.com |date= |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref>
*[[AllMovie]] described it as a "lively British sex farce."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmovie.com/movie/she-knows-yknow-v109794 |title=She Knows Y'Know (1962) - Trailers, Reviews, Synopsis, Showtimes and Cast |publisher=AllMovie |date= |accessdate=2014-03-15}}</ref>

==Restoration==
In an article in the ''[[Blackpool Gazette]]'', Jacqui Morley wrote about the [[film restoration]] by Eurwyn Jones:
{{Blockquote|text=Eurwyn sees Hylda's film ''She Knows Y'Know'' as one of the holy grails of British comedy. "We've lost so much over the years and I'm convinced many are still out there. You have to know where to look. [[Jean Fergusson|Jean]] tried the [[British Film Institute|BFI]], but the film wasn't in good condition so I put feelers out as a past film collector and went, let us say, to see a man about a dog! I found the film in immaculate condition. Nobody had watched it for half a century. It was a really good feeling, and I couldn't wait to see it."

He negotiated use of the print, tracked down [[copyright]] holders to ensure it could be shared with fans across the world, and teamed up with Renown Pictures, who restore classic movies, putting the print through modern technology to present a crystal clear picture quality and sound. ''She Knows Y'Know'' is now out on DVD.

Eurwyn concludes: "Hylda was one of the funniest women ever. All those hours I've spent tracking down this early example of her talent have been worth it, and the digital transfer results are brilliant. The film shows she was not only a brilliant comedienne, but an actress of great note, too, which she later proved in films such as ''[[Up the Junction (film)|Up the Junction]]'' and ''[[Oliver! (film)|Oliver]]''."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/features/he-knows-y-know-1-3797241 |title=He knows y'know... |publisher=The Gazette |date=2011-09-22 |accessdate=2014-03-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315190133/https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/features/he-knows-y-know-1-3797241 |archive-date=15 March 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>}}
