Curiosità

The Ware Case is a 1938 British drama film directed by Robert Stevenson and starring Clive Brook, Jane Baxter and Barry K. Barnes. It is an adaptation of the play The Ware Case (1915) by George Pleydell Bancroft, which had previously been made into two silent films, in 1917 and 1928. It had been a celebrated stage vehicle for Sir Gerald Du Maurier. The film was made at Ealing Studios with stately home exteriors shot in the grounds of Pinewood. Oscar Friedrich Werndorff worked as set designer.

Production

The movie was the second made at Ealing after Michael Balcon took over. Clive Brook wanted to make a film based on The Ware Case and Robert Stevenson was interested in directing; they set up the project at Ealing. Balcon claims the film was profitable.
