Forbidden
1932. USA. Directed by Frank Capra. With Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Bellamy. A major influence on John Cassavetes, Capra was, by the early 1930s, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated and successful directors. His subversive, satirical, even caustic portraits of hallowed American institutions including the church (The Miracle Woman), Wall Street (American Madness), and marriage (Ladies of Leisure, Platinum Blonde) were an important strain of his remarkable pre-Code period. In Forbidden, Stanwyck shows off her seemingly boundless range as Lulu Smith, a prim, self-sacrificing librarian who reinvents herself during a luxury cruise to Havana, becoming an independent, uninhibited “new woman” and the “lonely hearts” columnist for a big-city paper. Preserved by Sony Pictures Repertory. 83 min.
