The Man in Grey (Film Trailer)
Gainsborough melodrama trailer, starring the most desirable cast of the period.
Overview
Who wouldn't go weak at the knees for Stewart Granger? Not many people, judging by the UK box-office figures at the time. Add James Mason, Margaret Lockwood, Phyllis Calvert and you get a gold-plated cast capable of turning heads and filling cinema seats. Calvert and Lockwood play two women whose tragically joined destinies are unveiled from the start by a fortune-teller.
The Man in Grey rejuvenated Gainsborough studios at the height of WWII, and helped turn melodrama into a hugely popular genre as people sought escapism and glamour over patriotism and propaganda.
