Major Barbara: Directed by Gabriel Pascal, Harold French, David Lean. With Wendy Hiller, Rex Harrison, Robert Morley, Robert Newton. A young and idealistic woman, who has adopted the Salvation Army and whose father is an armament industrialist, will save more souls directing her father’s business. A comedy with social commentary.

“Robert Morley as Andrew Underschaft must be seen to be believed. He is incomparated. Wendy Hiller as his high-spirited, free-thinking, and self-righteous daughter is equally magnificent. Rex Harrison gives them both a run for their money as the swain whose fallen for Barbara. Robert Newton, David Tree, and Deborah Kerr are also terrific in small roles. There are so many double and triple entendres this one will keep your mind swirling for weeks after youu0026#39;ve seen it. It is completely enjoyable and universal.”
