Young and Innocents 1937 directed by Alfred Hitchcock with Derrick de Marney, Mary Clare, Nova Pilbeam

The Franchise Affair 1952 directed by Lawrence Huntington with Michael Dension, Dulcie Gray
Based on another of Tey's great novels, an initally reluctant lawyer takes on a strange case of kidnapping and abuse over the increasing rancour of the village. Rarely seen.
