"Laddie" was a 1940 remake of the 1926 movie adaptation of the novel of the same name. The only names in the cast that rang a bell were Peter Cushing in a supporting role and Joan Carroll. IMDB does not have much on the film. Wikipedia has a very brief plot description: "A farmer romances an English girl."
