    In 1976, BBC Television broadcast a version as part of their Play of the Month series. This production starred Edward Fox, Polly Adams. It was directed by Rudolph Cartier and produced by Cedric Messina.

    My dear mom taught me this timeless saying long ago when I was young, “Oh, what a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”. Throughout my life, I’ve witnessed this fact of nature play out as stated. We all have experienced this life lesson. It is a sign of loose ethics and low morel sense when older folks who know better continue to lie. The truth eventually is exposed.

    Not sure when this was produced or broadcast, but Keith Michell (who played Dancy here) also played Henry VIII in the TV drama Henry VIII And His Six Wives in 1972, and The Six Wives of Henry VIII, a TV series, in 1970. He played Henry VIII again in 1996 in The Prince and the Pauper, a TV mini-series, and had a recurring role in Murder She Wrote as Dennis Stanton, a reformed jewel thief.

    Synopsis: A wealthy houseguest at an upper-class gathering, who happens to be Jewish, is robbed of £1,000. Evidence points to the guilt of another guest. How will the host react? This was released as a movie in 1933 and the BBC broadcast a TV version in 1976.

    In today’s fevered perceived ‘ antisemitic ‘ atmosphere we would never hear the word ‘Jew ‘ in any context. Famous authors used this word frequently (Agatha Christie - Josephine Tey et al) in a less than flattering manner.
