What Do We Do Now? is a 1946 British second feature ('B')[1] film directed by Charles Hawtrey and starring George Moon, Burton Brown and Gloria Brent.[2][3] It was written by George A. Cooper and produced by Maurice J. Wilson.
It is notable for being one of only two films directed by Hawtrey, and is believed to be a lost film.[4]
