He was playing Denis, the son, so he's in both the middle time skip (this one), and the final one in which he is a little aged up. He becomes an actor and plays Mark Antony at the Old Vic.
That's charming. I can't actually imagine a Denholm Elliott Mark Antony, but presumably the viewer can with Denis.
I went in with too high an expectation and then Margaret Lockwood's character was thanklessly irredeemable in a tiresome way, and they kept using a made up name for Newcastle when they had no reason to do so. (Obv one of these complaints is slightly more important than the other, but at this distance that's what I remember!)
Plus filing the serial numbers off Newcastle is just confusing.
I may just stick to The Citadel (1938) if I want A. J. Cronin onscreen, which still makes a plot decision I dislike strongly, but at least first gives me Robert Donat and Ralph Richardson blowing up a sewer.
