Saw this film on TCM several years ago, and it's stuck with me since. For the period in which this film was made, I'm surprised it was even made at all; Forbidden is a pretty risque film for the era. Having no film rating system in place at the time and the overall morality of the era, it's one of the more obscure films.
But Frank Capra (of It's a Wonderful Life fame) directed the film, and it's beautifully directed. With a cast including Barbara Stanwyck and Adolphe Menjou, the acting was great. Forbidden is truly a timeless tale of love and lust and being true to yourself and how far one will go for a little happiness.
If you look for this film on DVD, it's part of Frank Capra's early collection set. Not sure if TCM still runs the film anymore. But it's a great use of 90 minutes. Enjoy!
