Director: Anthony Asquith Starring: Elissa Landi, Brian Aherne, Norah Baring. Underground tells the story of the lives and loves of four young working people in 1920s London. Parallels with life in the metropolis today are poignant and it is fascinating to see the locations particularly of the Underground, the pubs and shops in which the drama unfolds. Introduced as a 'story of ordinary people', Anthony Asquith's Underground masterfully balances the light and dark sides of city life to evoke the daily existence of the average Londoner better than any other film from Britain's silent canon. Assured filmmaking with the occasional impressive flourish, a trademark of Anthony Asquith's directorial style
