Edward Henry Machin (Denry Machin for short) is an opportunist of the highest order. In every situation, he looks for advantage, but far from being denigrated he is admired - charm and seeming helpfulness win the day for the 'Card'. From wangling invitations, to rent collection, to 'purchasing' public office by buying a renowned player for the local football team, he is never far from the everyday affairs of the town. Adapted by Eric Ambler, 'The Card' was filmed starring Alec Guiness. It was also adapted for the London stage and BBC radio. Arnold Bennett
