New Clark Gable?

New Clark Gable?

Max Willis, as Sandy Tyrell, Coward's caricature of a typical english sporting youth-all brawn and no brain-was most convincing without developing monotony.

Jean Coombs was well cast as Myra, being a comforting relief from the almost unnatural Bliss family. If her poise and cold aloofness were a little too abvious at times, she was always convincing in a really difficult portrayal.

Pat Macaskill gave a good interpretation as David Bliss, but seemed to suffer by comparison with the principals.

Ruth Crombie gave such a delightul portrayal as Jackie Coryton that it was possible to overlook slight inconsistencies here and there.

As the boring diplomat; Jack aimers had a hard character to play and, although rather dull and forced at times, he was quite impressive.

In the small but entertaining role of Clara, Kathleen Hickey was very successfull.
