The Ware Case is a 1938 British drama film directed by Robert Stevenson and starring Clive Brook, Jane Baxter and Barry K. Barnes.[1] It is an adaptation of the play The Ware Case (1915) by George Pleydell Bancroft,[2] which had previously been made into two silent films, in 1917 and 1928.[3] It had been a celebrated stage vehicle for Sir Gerald Du Maurier.[4] The film was made at Ealing Studios with stately home exteriors shot in the grounds of Pinewood.[4] Oscar Friedrich Werndorff worked as set designer.[5]
In Forever Ealing, George Perry wrote, "The Ware Case is a stagey, melodramatic piece. But it was made on schedule within its budget, and was thus able to go into profit."[3]
