Waterloo Bridge(1931)

This movie was banned when it was released. Probably way ahead of time... but the theme is a cliche one....a prostitute who has a heart of gold.....

Nevertheless, the movie is very well executed and has some stellar acting. If you lay hands on the Forbidden Hollywood collection, watch this movie.

Set during the first world war, this movie is about an unfortunate 'soldier' woman who falls in love with a baby faced American private. Though she is in love with him, she considers herself too lowly for him and runs away. When at the end, the private comes to know about the real her, he is even more impressed by her golden virtues. However fate had different plans and the film has a tragic ending.

Considering the time when the film was released, this was really a futuristic film.

Overall 6.5/10
