Trivia
This was the first feature film to be made by J. Arthur Rank, who up until then had only made religious short films. He was very dissatisfied with the studio facilities he was given at Elstree; and because of his enthusiasm for continued film-making, decided to have his own studios. And so he joined with a man called Henry Boot, and together they founded and built Pinewood Studios.

Realistic and ahead of its time

This film feels much more modern than one typically made only 6 years after the introduction of the talkies. The actors do not adopt the theatrical stances commonly found in films of this age, the sets are well detailed and much use is made of atmospheric external cinematography.

The plot involving love of a couple between two feuding families is hardly innovative and the only downside I find is the somewhat cod (excuse the pun) Yorkshire accents and use of the descriptive but cliched word "Champion"!
