Product Description

 
This early Hitchcock talkie tells the tale of old money and new money feuding over a family estate in jolly class-conscious England. THE SKIN GAME closely follows the hit London play by John Galsworthy; for the film, Hitchcock was able to elicit superb performances from his stars in this study of the English family and the English class system. The film tracks a fierce rivalry between a landowner and his immediate neighbor, complete with nasty tactics, class-based hostility, and dirty secrets that beg to be unearthed.

Alfred Hitchcock's -The Skin Game-1931

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2002

The Skin Game: Vintage Hitchcock

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: A decent Hitchcock from his British period, it shows how a person can be so filled with zeal that he destroys himself. Worth watching

The Bottom Line: Good rainy day movie.
Review: This is an early (1931) Hitchcock drama starring John Longden and Helen Haye. Two feuding families, one aristocratic and the other self-made, make up the plot of this movie. Set in a small English village, the tension builds between the two families...
