As a popular romance actor, John Stuart was frequently mobbed by his adoring fans. With access to Stuart’s private archive, his films, press cuttings, reviews, interviews, profiles, features, and gossip columns, this work presents a detailed account of an actor who made a significant contribution to the British film industry of the 20th century.

A popular romantic actor with a fan club rivalling that of Ivor Novello, John Stuart was frequently mobbed by his adoring fans. He starred in films by Alfred Hitchcock and G.W. Pabst, played opposite British stars such as Madeleine Carroll, Fay Compton, Gracie Fields, and German actor Conrad Veidt, and was also the first actor to ever speak on screen in Britain. Yet despite a film career lasting six decades and 172 films, his name and achievement are little known today.

With access to Stuart''s private archive, his surviving films, press cuttings, film reviews, interviews, profiles, features, and gossip columns, his son Jonathan Croall presents a detailed account of an actor who made a significant contribution to the British film industry of the 20th century.
