The Man in Grey is a 1943 English film melodrama made by Gainsborough Pictures. It was directed by Leslie Arliss and produced by Edward Black from a screenplay by Leslie Arliss and Margaret Kennedy, adapted by Doreen Montgomery from the novel by Eleanor Smith.
It starred Margaret Lockwood, Phyllis Calvert, James Mason, Stewart Granger and Martita Hunt.
Background
The Man in Grey is generally considered the first of the "Gainsborough melodramas", a series of period costume films produced by Gainsborough Pictures. Although not very well received critically, it was a great commercial success and became one of the ten most successful British pictures of 1943. It caught the mood of the nation brilliantly as it fused elements of previously successful "women's pictures" with a distinctive formula of its own. It had great star appeal with a strong cast and an intricate plot with its counterpointing of good against evil, obedience against rebellion, male against female and class against class.
