Love on the Dole
Charlie - Sam Grundy's Assistant
En la Inglaterra sumida en crisis económica, una joven intenta convertirse en la amante de un hombre rico para así poder ayudar a su familia. Esta película británica de 1941 se creía perdida durante décadas. "Love On The Dole" fue la tercera película de Deborah Kerr y la segunda donde se trata la desigualdad social británica. Basada en un libro escrito en 1933 cuando la depresión era muy real y cuando fue adaptada para el escenario en 1934 por el autor Walter Greenwood (Wendy Hiller interpretó a Sally). La obra fue un gran éxito: los discursos "reales" de Larry y los temas sociales contemporáneos fueron muy nuevos para el público británico. Aún así, la Junta de Censores británica pensó que la historia era demasiado sórdida para ser filmada, pero finalmente se hizo en 1941, cuando la Guerra convirtió al mundo en un lugar muy diferente.
