Derived from John Galsworthy's play, The Skin Game contrasts the old order of the decent conservative Hillcrist with the irruption of the new man Hornblow, a self-made industrialist who ushers in modernity with its cruelty and dynamism. Hillcrist's insubstantial purity is lost, and the old order dies by virtue of the fact of there being a conflict. Both sides are chastened, each having been cruel to the other, while the young couple suggest a possible future unity. (National Film Theatre)
