Plot
At an estate auction in WWII England, two strangers meet and muse about their families' history and possible connections. Flashbacks reveal the story of the sweet, rich, and beautiful Clarissa Richmond and her friendship with bitter, impoverished Hesther Snow. Their fates are intertwined even as their paths diverge. Clarissa marries the handsome but cruel Marquis of Rohan while Hesther becomes an actress. Eventually, the two women meet again and Clarissa brings the scheming Hesther into her household. As Clarissa searches for true love, Hesther plots to take away everything that belongs to her.
The Man in Grey was the first official period melodrama produced by Gainsborough Pictures. Although not very well received critically, it was a great commercial success and became one of the ten most successful British pictures of 1943. It caught the mood of the nation brilliantly as it fused elements of previously successful "women's pictures" with a distinctive formula of its own. It had great star appeal with a strong cast and an intricate plot with its counterpointing of good against evil, obedience against rebellion, male against female and class against class. The ingredients of future Gainsborough melodramas are clearly introduced here.
