I posted this on a British forum and didn't have much luck so I'll try our experts here. While looking through a Kino Video catalog, I came across a 1938 Alexander Korda film which I've never heard of called "South Riding". Good cast including Sir Ralph Richardson, Edna Best and Edmund Gwenn. I checked the TCM database, imdb and a couple others and I got all the info on it, but I'd really like to hear from somebody, who has actually seen it, before I spring for it. Anybody?

This is quite a good film -- interestng characters and a vivid evocation of a particular time and place in British social history. Ralph Richardson and John Clements are both excellent. There was also a 1970s British miniseries based on the same book which is also very good.

 

I got my copy from Movies Unlimited for only $14.99 and it was definately worth the money.

Thanks MissPlum. I knew I could count on somebody here. That's why I always try to answer people's quesions because you never know when you'll need an answer yourself. I shall order it tonight. I overlooked it on the MU sight because, out of habit, I was searching for a DVD not a VHS. However, since the movie is more important to me than the format, I'll be happy to watch it on tape. Thanks again.
