As a handsome and popular romantic actor with a fan club rivalling
that of Ivor Novello, John Stuart was frequently mobbed by his
adoring fans. He starred in films by Alfred Hitchcock and G.W.
Pabst, played opposite British stars such as Madeleine Carroll, Fay
Compton, Gracie Fields, and German actor Conrad Veidt, and was also
the first actor to ever speak on screen in Britain. Yet despite a
film career lasting six decades and comprising 172 films, his name
and achievement are little known today. With access to Stuart's
private archive, his surviving films, press cuttings, film reviews,
interviews, profiles, features, and gossip columns, his son
Jonathan Croall presents a detailed account of an actor who made a
significant contribution to the British film industry of the 20th
century.
