The History of Mr. Polly

Based on the novel by H.G. Wells.

Director: Anthony Pelissier

Writer: H.G. Wells

Quiet and somewhat direction-less, Alfred Polly uses the money he inherits from his father to marry and to set up shop in a small town. His heart is in neither of these enterprises and he eventually resorts to desperate measures to break free. His random wanderings in the countryside lead him to a new opportunity that just might be what he's been looking for all along.
