Forbidden (1949)

Forbidden (1949). Forbidden: Directed by George King. With Douglass Montgomery, Hazel Court, Patricia Burke, Garry Marsh. An ex-serviceman plans to escape his faithless wife.

“The last film of both director George King and star Douglass Montgomery (both of whom coincidentally died in 1966) is a dark melodrama typical of postwar austerity Britain with a decidedly continental feel in which romance beckons with nice Hazel Court, but Montgomery is already shackled to faithless high maintainance wife Patricia Burke.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeopled with denizens of the spiv economy like Ronald Shiner and a lean, zoot-suited young Kenneth Griffith packing a flick-knife; it could easily be French, or a German silent, and even looks like one courtesy of Hone Glendinningu0026#39;s usual atmospheric photography and the production design by Bernard Robinson, who later found steady employment with Hammer Films.”
