Yellow Sands
1938, English. Directed by Herbert Brenon.
Brings the fresh breezes of Devonshire to the screen, full of real people and capturing the spirit of the West Country.
Village romance and gossip collide amongst the West Country fisherfolk of Yellow Sands, as the Varwell family gathers to celebrate the birthday of their aging matriarch, Jennifer. Apart from her Communist nephew, faithful companion and sozzled brother, everyone pays their homage with one eye towards shoring up their expected inheritances - but Jennifer may have her own ideas when she finally makes out her will.
