The Final Test (1953)

Sam Palmer is a cricketer about to play the final test match of his career. His schoolboy son Reggie is a budding poet who disappoints him by not attending the penultimate day's play. Unexpectedly, Reggie is invited to the home of poet and writer Alexander Whitehead. Reggie fears he will also miss the final day--and therefore Sam's last innings--but it turns out that Alexander is a cricket lover.
