The Final Test

The Final Test is a little-known 1953 film starring Jack Warner as Sam Palmer, a famous English cricketer who is about to play his last test, the culmination of an Ashes series against the Australians. It was written by Terence Rattigan, based on his 1951 TV play of the same name. The basic plot is that Palmer's son Reggie is not interested in cricket, but Palmer wants Reggie to come along to at least see him play for the last time. Reggie instead wants to visit a famous poet, Alexander Whitehead, however when he gets there, he discovers Whitehead is very keen on cricket and wants to go to the match instead of talking poetry, so he takes Reggie along. They get there just in time to see Sam Palmer get out for a duck.

Rattigan was inspired by Don Bradman's final test (cite: Geoffrey Wansell, Terence Rattigan, 1995, p. 213), although Bradman's name is never mentioned, it being an ostensibly fictional story. Rattigan himself was a very keen cricketer in his earlier days, being an opening bat with Victor Rothschild at the 1929 Harrow-Eton match at Lord's. Like most of his plays, The Final Test explores the tension between father and son. (Rattigan could not have known then about the tensions between Bradman and his son John.)

Given that there's no overt mention of Bradman in the film, does it belong here? I'd like to record it somewhere in a Bradman-related context. -- JackofOz (talk) 00:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
