Curiosidades
The title comes from a slang phrase for "an unscrupulous business operation." Although this movie is British, the term is considered American and dates back to just after the American Civil War (1865-1870). It is not to be confused with the similar-sounding monetary aphorism, "to have skin in the game," which refers to someone who has invested heavily in a business deal or wager.

Citações
[last lines]
Mr. Hillcrist: What is it that gets loose when you start a fight, and makes you what you think you're not? Begin as you may, it ends in this skin game! Skin game! When we began this fight, we'd clean hands. Are they clean now? What's gentility worth if it can't stand fire?

a much overlooked early Hitchcock work

I feel many writers and critics, David Sterritt, Donald Spoto to name but two are too dismissive of this movie. With the technological restrictions of the very early talkie, Hitchcock as used his artistry to compose fluidity and cinematic suture to a rather stolid Galsworthy play. Already mentioned are the innovative zip pans, he also has intelligent use of dissolve, symbolism aplenty within montage sequences, sheep v horn (Hillcrest v Hornblower). The juxtaposition in the opening sequence of the car and the horse sets the theme beautifully. Occasionally there is daring reverse shots of the same objects defying the 180 degree rule, especially noticeable as we break into the proscenium arch of theatre.
