Spring and Port Wine

Spring and Port Wine is a film adaptation of a stage play written by Bill Naughton. Naughton also wrote the film's screenplay. It's a family story about a patriarch, Rafe Crompton, who presides over his family in the English working class town of Bolton. He's strict, and his wife isn't, and their differing styles cause conflicts between them and their four children. The film version of the play stars James Mason, Diana Coupland and Susan George. The story was adapted as a stage play in the United States entitled Keep It in the Family.
