The plot [of the play] is too closely knit and the action too localized to make the best cinematographic material. Mr. Hitchcock, however, has used his imagination in translating the play into the terms of the screen.

The playing is exceptional, both men and women.

Mr. Galsworthy's narrative is bound to enlist one's attention, but Mr. Hitchcock, who is responsible for the adaptation as well as the direction, cannot be said to have accomplished either task in a fashion the subject deserves.

A rather stagy and creaky early talkie (1931) by Alfred Hitchcock.

It's surprising from a contemporary point of view how much Galsworthy stacked the deck, and in what direction, but that's something you have to take in the spirit of the time...

Stagy and verbose, this British play adaptation is one of the few weak movies Hitchcock had made in an otherwise brilliant career.

Audience Reviews for The Skin Game

May 18, 2012An early effort from Hitchcock, "The Skin Game" is a drama that deals with the snobbish ideals of the aristocracy and wasn't very successful due probably somewhat to this fact. The film has several characters who are all quite hard to identify as either the "good or bad" character as they all have their own issues and all do questionable things throughout the film. While this is a rather slow and uninspiring affair that only has trace amounts of Hitchcock's genius in it, such as the auction scene that would be utilized in "North by Northwest" later on. A whole lot of talking and threats with no actions followed through with is what overall hinders the film and renders it rather low in Hitchcock's immense and way more impressive catalog of films he would go on to direct. I'd recommend this only for Hitchcock fans that want to view all of his work.Chris B Super Reviewer

Sep 03, 2010One of my favourite early Hitchcock movies. Greed and wealth fuels a family feud which could end in tragedy.Aj V Super Reviewer
