CGiii Comment
A bog-standard aristocratic closet case...comes out with refinery.
Faultless acting as you would expect.
Bog standard direction for early Eyre.
It's watchable...but, rather boring.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
In 1945, the Carlions assemble at an English country house for a family gathering. During the event, they must determine who is to take over the family brewing empire, since the present head of the business, Sir Frederick, is getting old. The results of the 1945 general election causes a major stir, and some angry farmers occupy a barn.
