When the Bough Breaks (Laurence Huntingdon, 1947)

[MrT]

This rather unbelievable melodrama with Patricia Roc and Rosamund John is coming out on Odeon's "Best of British" series in May:
When The Bough Breaks - DVDs at Play.com (UK)

Unbelievable? Actually I think if you ignore the for-the-benefit-of-the-censor explanation of why Patricia Roc is a single mother, it's probably not a completely inaccurate picture of the life of someone in that position in the 1940s. Always good to see this sort of thing turn up on dvd anyway

Oooh - I've not seen this weepie for 20 years. Still, as a fan of virtually everyone in the cast, it shall be added to my collection. Thanks for the alert.

I've wanted to see it for a while so I'll be buying. Plot sounds very Eastenders to me!
