The cast of Spring and Port Wine
Rafe Crompton is a self-made man who has known great
hardship in his youth, so he is determined that his children should be brought
up in an atmosphere of truth and self-reliance. He is essentially not a stern man, but such is the unswerving quality of his own
integrity that he has lost sight of the maxim that love must encompass
understanding as well as caring. In his family this has naturally developed a
necessity to hide their peccadilloes from him, even by telling the occasional
white lie. His daughter Hilda particularly resents this and her refusal to eat a herring which is placed before her at dinner makes
the situation explosive. The family is almost broken up before Rafe is made to see the dangers in
his attitudes, and they are reunited in an atmosphere
more progressive and tolerant.
