The Skin Game (1931)
8.20pm, 9 Sep 2012

BFI Southbank, London
Another adaptation from the stage, this time of Galsworthy's account of the increasingly bitter, even vicious battle for land between an aristocratic family down to their last Rolls Royce and a nouveau riche industrialist (Gwenn, in the first of his four roles for Hitchcock). A caustic and very British view of deep-seated tribal loyalties, enhanced by technical flair: an auction scene is especially memorable for its use of a panning camera.
Featuring: Edmund Gwenn, Jill Esmond, John Longden, CV France, Helen Haye and Edward Chapman
