The Card
A precocious child, Denry Machin decides as a boy to master his own Fate as much as possible. With equal parts cheek, charm and ambition, over the course of his life he finds many ways to enhance the quality of his life - a challenge he relishes, surmounting social and other barriers with shrewdness, luck and the invaluable gift of making himself liked by everyone from the landed gentry to the lowliest washerwoman.
With a large bank account and an amiably affectionate personality he soon became known as The Card, capping his achievements by becoming the youngest-ever Mayor of his hometown. But has Denry met his match when it comes to women?
Includes the original trailer, an image gallery, and 1984 TV play Edwin, also starring Alec Guinness, and written by John Mortimer.
