Unlike the other reviewers I have actually seen this film.Leigh has a secondary role as sister to Leslie Perrins.There is nothing in her performance that would give you any idea what would happen to her in 4 years time.She has 2 main dialogue sequences which she handles competently.Perrins plays a film star who comes to the village for some relaxation.He uses a false name.He meets and falls in love with the Squires daughter.The squire is against anything modern.He wont have a phone and decries the fact that a local theatre is to be turned into a "Kinema".He interferes in everybody's affairs with devastating results.He takes a contract on a piece of land so a hospital can be built.He thought he had obtained an option,and does not have the balance of £500 to perform the contract.Being a Shakespere lover he decides to put on Macbeth to raise funds.However he only sells 6 tickets.Unbeknownst to him Perrins agrees to star and the show is sold out.The Squire tries to stop the show but is locked in the lavatory.When he is let out he realises his mistake and gives his blessing to the marriage.It is a competent quota quickie directed by Reginald Denham who made many such films in the thirties.You can read his autobiog "Stars In My Hair".
