Dorothy Anne Todd (24 January 1907, Hartford, Cheshire – 6 May 1993, London) was an English actress and producer.
She was born in Hartford, Cheshire and was educated at St. Winifrid's School, Eastbourne. She became a popular actress from appearing in such films as Perfect Strangers (1945) (as a nurse) and The Seventh Veil (1945) (as a troubled concert pianist). She is perhaps best known to American audiences as Gregory Peck's long-suffering wife in Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case (1947). She later produced a series of travel films. Her autobiography is entitled The Eighth Veil, an allusion to the film which made her a star in Britain. Todd was known as the "pocket Garbo" for her diminutive, blond beauty.

SF 영화사를 통틀어 최고 걸작 중의 하나로 꼽히는 작품으로 당시에는 흥행에 실패했지만, 윌리엄 카메론 멘지스(William Cameron Menzies) 감독은 당대의 어떤 감독들보다 예술적 감각이 뛰어나다는 찬사를 들었다. H.G.웰즈의 원작을 영상으로 재구성한 솜씨가 매우 뛰어난 작품이다.이 영화의 줄거리는 제작 시점에서 몇 년 앞인 1940년 제2차 세계대전이 발발하는 것에서부터 시작한다. 그 뒤엔 1970년대의 어느 황폐한 마을의 모습이 등장과 함께 그 마을에서 벌어지는 권력투쟁이 묘사된다. 다시 장면이 바뀌어 서기 2036년, 앞에서 등장했던 마을이 평화롭고 풍요롭고 과학기술이 발달된 유토피아로 탈바꿈하여 나타난다. 그러나 그들은 통치자의 오만함과 사람들의 상상력 결핍이라는 문제를 안고 있는데...마지막 장면에서 한 쌍의 젊은 남녀가 좀 더 희망적인 사회를 건설하리라는 사람들의 기대를 안고 우주로 떠난다는 결말을 보여준다.
