The set-up seems fine: a self-made modern man up against the landed gentry and their seemingly backwards thinking. But this is just a filmed play, with a lot of standing-around speeches, many of which contain colloquialisms that are not easily understood today. There are a few bright moments (the dizzying auction, a few dolly shots); there's just not a lot here to say, "Hey, this guy will eventually make some of the greatest films of all time."

This is very underwhelming Hitchcock that doesn't really feel like a Hitchcock. It's a family rivalry melodrama and not a particularly interesting one with middling acting. One scene that does stand out, however, is the auction scene. The camerawork and choices in the scene bring to mind Hitchcock's later work. One shot in particular is reminiscent of the tennis scene in Strangers on a Train. Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but only for Hitchcock completionists.

You can see the beginnings of Hitchcock's style here. The acting isn't good but its serviceable for the time period.

While most of Hitchcock's British works pale in comparison to the finely tuned masterpieces he would craft in the United States, they are fascinating in their own right, and one senses that Hitchcock as a young man was more interested in ideas and philosophy than technique, favoring quiet pathos over spectacle
