| ~1-8: Conway Tearle & Alan Hale~ |
| ~Plot Synopsis~ |
The Sporting Lover was produced by Faultless Pictures Corporation, leaving the picture wide open for
wisecracks from the less-impressionable critics. The title character, played by Conway Tearle, is Captain
Terrance Connaughton, known far and wide and as the most romantic man in the Army. Flitting from
woman to woman, Connaughton finally decides to settle down when he falls in love with Lady
Gwendolyn Cavens (Barbara Bedford). But alas! Lady G. will be forced to wed the evil Sir Philip Barton
(Ward Crane) unless her horse "Good Luck" wins the Big Race. So just guess who straightens this mess
out. That's right, it's Captain Terrance Connaughton, whose capacity for goodness is almost as big as his
name.
