"SOUTH RIDING."
One of the most absorbing and unusual screen dramas to come to the screen is "South Riding," Alexander Korda's unforgettable filming of the famous Winifred Holtby novel. The story of a man who was bound to a woman he could not have and fell in love with another who was also beyond his reach, is set against a background of small-town life which offers a revealing glimpse into the private lives of public characters. A splendid cast, headed by Ralph Richardson, who will >c remembered for his great comedy performance i Merle Oberon's "The Divorce of Lady X," brings the story to life under the direction of the brilliant Victor Saville. Opposite Richardson is the charming and popular Edna Best, while others who turn in excellent performances are Edmund Gwenn, blonde Anne Todd, John Clements, the young actor who scored in "Knight Without Armour," and the child actresses Glynis Johns and Joan Ellum.
