Frieda is a 1947 war drama directed by Basil Dearden and starring David Farrar, Glynis Johns, Flora Robson, Albert Lieven and Mai Zetterling. Frieda, a German girl, helps English Robert to escape from a German prisoner of war camp and in return he marries her so she can obtain a British passport even though he doesn't lover her. When returning to Robert's small English hometown, Frieda is met with hostile anti-German sentiment which is only worsened when her brother, a former Nazi and now Polish soldier arrives. What follows is a terrible awakening for Frieda who, deeply in love with her husband, cannot accept when Robert turns against her. (StudioCanal UK)
