Curiosità

White Cradle Inn is a 1947 British drama film directed by Harold French and starring Madeleine Carroll, Ian Hunter, and Michael Rennie. It was released as High Fury in the US; and filmed on location in Switzerland and at Shepperton Studios. In Switzerland after the Second World War, a French evacuee boy wants to stay there rather than return home, leading to a moral dilemma.

Production

The film was based on an original story by director Harold French and was shot at Isleworth Studios and on location in Switzerland. French later recalled

Filming had to stop because the money had run out. I didn’t mind as long as they paid the actors, which they did; I didn’t get all my money from that one. I got on well with Madeleine Carroll but I didn’t think she was a very good actress, frankly. I don’t think Ian Hunter was terribly good either — a bit stolid. It would have been a better picture with a stronger man. But Michael Rennie was marvellous in it, I thought.
