The Durant Affair
The Durant Affair is a 1962 British B-movie drama directed by Godfrey Grayson. The story, written by Eldon Howard, stars Jane Griffiths, Conrad Phillips, and Nigel Green. Produced by Philip Elton, the film runs 65 minutes and is in English.
Plot: After a wealthy society hostess dies, the search for her rightful heir begins, leading to the surprising reveal of an heiress.
Reception: Critics described it as a mostly courtroom-focused drama with lots of talking and little excitement. The Monthly Film Bulletin called it undramatic and repetitive, with only a couple of strong performances. Kine Weekly said it was windy and wordy, lacking emotional pull and dramatic impact, with much of the action confined to the courtroom. Some reviewers, however, praised Jane Griffiths’s portrayal of a heroine who carries a quiet sadness.
