Vintage Wine

romance · Julius Hagen · Gaumont British Picture Corporation

“Fun and quirky” “There’s still some life in this old dog” “A lesser vintage” (IMDB reviews quotes).

The affluent champagne estates owner is played by Seymour Hicks at the head of a large, lively cast. Good production values. IMDB rating 6.1. Directed by Henry Edwards. Released in 1935 (UK only). Complete print (PAL transfer minus a few missing frames).
