A dark and powerful post-war thriller, Forbidden features a compelling performance by MGM star Douglass Montgomery as an unhappily married scientist who finds solace in the arms of another woman with devastating consequences.
Also starring Patricia Burke and future horror icon Hazel Court, Forbidden is made available here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements, in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Driven by the incessant demands of his unfaithful, luxury-addicted wife, analytical chemist Jim Harding sacrifices a brilliant but poorly paid career to sell patent medicines at a Blackpool fairground. While there, he finds he has a chance at happiness until his vindictive harpy of a wife crushes it flat. At the end of his tether, Jim decides that thereโs only one way out โ his wife has to dieโฆ

The British Film
The British Film collection was launched by Network Distributing in April 2013 as part of a five-year plan to release over 450 vintage British films through a deal with Studiocanal, one of Europeโs leading distribution and production companies. Many of the films have never been available to own and will benefit from new transfers, affirming Network Distributingโs commitment to classic British cinema.
Titles include significant works from studios including Associated Talking Pictures, Ealing Studios, London Films, British Lion, Associated British Picture Corporation and EMI from the Studiocanal archive.
