Now watching the magnificent Young and Innocent (1937), another classic from Hitchcock's 1930s productions. There are several versions on youtube.

Nova Pilbeam beautifully conveys the supreme self-confidence of a well brought-up girl from the British upper middle classes, who is forced by circumstances to break all the rules. A most civilised version of anarchism!

Wikipedia tells me that Pilbeam stopped making films in the 1940s but lived until 2015. Her first husband was a great-grandson of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Connections, connections!
