The Impassive Footman (1932), is the earliest film in Kino Quickies season 2. It's a tense melodrama about an unhappy marriage, a foiled affair and a doctor's dilemma, all watched over by a mysterious -you might even say impassive - footman.

The film stars George Curzon as the eponymous footman, Betty Stockfeld & Allan Jeayes as the married couple at the centre of the film and Owen Nares as dashing young doctor, Bryan Daventry.

NOBODY is credited as the film's director - the candidates are its producer, Basil Dean and Graham Cutts. We try to get to the bottom of this in the Q&A.

Our guest for the Q&A is comedian and host of the Talking Pictures TV Podcast, Mel Byron.

The TPTV podcast is mostly made up of reviews of upcoming films submitted by TPTV viewers. Mel and the team are always looking for new contributors - especially of the lady variety because it's currently a bit chap-heavy. If you'd like to take part, get in touch with them on Twitter, Facebook or by email.
