With: Edmund Gwenn Jill Esmond John Longden C.V. France Helen Haye Frank Lawton With Alfred Hitchcock its director, more was expected.
The story appears to be run through in a straight style as though closely following John Galsworthy’s London stage hit. The playing is exceptional, both men and women. Edmund Gwenn, Phyllis Konstam, Jill Esmond and C.V. France will be accepted likely as the best performers, and into that group must go Helen Haye who is the best. Haye plays the elderly aristocratic wife.

Recording of The Skin Game, by John Galsworthy. Rohs Drivers Pci Serial Port. Dramatized by volunteer readers. A small play in three acts. A kind of comic tragedy. The plot tells the story of the interaction between two very different families in rural England just after the end of the First World War. Squire Hillcrist lives in the manor house where his family has lived for generations.
He has a daughter, Jill, who is in her late teens; and a wife, Amy, as well as servants and retainers. He is 'old money', although his finances are at a bit of low ebb. The other family is the 'nouveau riche' Hornblowers, headed by the single-minded and rich industrialist Hornblower, who throws old retainers the Jackmans out of their home (much to the Squire's disgust), and who plans to surround the Hillcrist's rural estate with factories.
