Young Woodley (1930 film)

Young Woodley is a 1930 British drama film directed by Thomas Bentley and starring Madeleine Carroll, Frank Lawton, Sam Livesey, and Gerald Rawlinson.

[1] The film was based on the controversial 1925 play Young Woodley by John Van Druten.

Bentley had previously directed a 1928 silent version, but the film was never released, and he re-made it in sound using some of the same actors.

The pompous and cold headmaster is portrayed as the villain of the work.

[2] The film was not a major success when it was released[3] despite its large budget and well-known subject matter.
