The Skin Game

(1931)

What’s gentility worth if it can’t stand fire?

This film is about the revolution in “Industrial Revolution.” An old school landowning family finds their idyllic country world being invaded by a young-money industrialist. A feud develops. And grows. And grows until it sucks everyone down into the muck. It’s very…high-minded, prestige-type fare for the young Hitch. How does he handle it? We watch and find out!
