Some play I’ve never heard of before by John Galsworthy, presumably revived because it gave a great lead role for Charles Laughton, who’s excellent. He plays an old man who provides for various grandchildren (one of whom from his illegitimate son), leading to him getting into debt, even though he’s a ship builder. It’s not much of a story or a problem – why don’t his lazy kids go out and get a job? EG Marshall lends some support. According to the announcement at the beginning, Laughton did this shortly before appearing in Galileo.
