ADowntrodden working man George Chedworth (Cecil Kellaway) is thrown into a criminal underworld when he finds a bag of money and must contend with the nouveau-riche pretensions of his complaining wife (Rita Pauncefort).
Shot between the wars, and adapted from a British novel, this is a class-conscious comedy drama about self-worth and second chances.
‘[Cecil Kellaway’s] performance as the little man who learns to assert himself is one of the best in all the Cinesound films, and Ken Hall’s direction is a large part of that success.’ – Paul Byrnes, NFSA
Presented in partnership with Friends of the NFSA.
Friends of the NFSA members will introduce the intriguing collection backstory of this title prior to the screening and be available for a Q&A afterwards.
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
