What happens

Auld Lang Syne is a 1937 British historical drama film directed by James A. FitzPatrick and starring Andrew Cruickshank, Christine Adrian and Marian Spencer. It was written by W.K. WIlliamson, and was made as a quota quickie, produced at Shepperton Studios for distribution by MGM; quota costume films were rare, as the costs generally exceeded the limited budgets allowed for productions.
