Movie Info

In Victorian London, young Adelaide (Maureen O'Hara) is born into luxury, but marries starving artist Henry (Dana Andrews). His alcoholism and their lack of money lead to many quarrels. During one such fight, Henry slips down a flight of stairs and dies. A neighbor, Mrs. Mounsey (Sybil Thorndike), is the only witness, and she blackmails the young widow by threatening to tell the cops that Adelaide killed her husband. Luckily, lawyer Gilbert (also Andrews) swoops in to help Adelaide.

Critic Reviews for The Forbidden Street

All Critics (1) | Rotten (1)

Only Miss Fay Compton as Miss O'Hara's mother and Mr. Anthony Tancred as her brother bring a touch of reality into this shadow play, surely, so far, the most disappointing film of the year.
