Berkeley Square (1933) is a drama film produced by Fox Film Corporation, directed by Frank Lloyd, and starring Leslie Howard, Heather Angel, Valerie Taylor, and Colin Keith-Johnston. The film was thought to be a lost film until rediscovered in the 1970s. [1]
The film was based on the play of the same name by John Balderston. It tells the story of a young American, played by Howard (nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor), who is transported back to London in the time of the American Revolution, where he meets his ancestors.
