What? Again?

Walter Forde's penultimate movie is a long, rambling, immaculately produced tale of the rise and fall of a family of Yorkshire mill owners. It has gorgeous black-and-white camerawork by Basil Emmott, a cast distinguished by Tom Walls in a very late movie, Nicholas Parsons in his first, as well as Dennis Price, Linden Travers, Jimmy Hanley, Anne Crawford... well, enough talent in front of and behind the camera to make a great movie.

Unfortunately, it's one of those movies about in-fighting, led by Stephen Murray, who longs to be the big kahuna, and is willing to use fair means and foul. I've seen this sort of drama, both in real life and the movies far too often to be impressed by it any more.
