Beyond the Forest is a 1949 American melodrama directed by King Vidor, and featuring Bette Davis, Joseph Cotten, David Brian, and Ruth Roman. The screenplay is written by Lenore Coffee based on the 1947 novel by Stuart Engstrand.
Production
The production of Beyond the Forest experienced several director-star contretemps that influenced Vidor's and Davis' evaluation of the film upon its completion.
Film historian David Melville suggests that Warner Bros. Pictures offered Bette Davis, the aging seventeen-year veteran of the studio, the role of Rosa Moline anticipating she would reject the project, a move that would allow executives to void her contract. She completed the film nevertheless, but it would be her last with Warner Bros.
Vidor and Davis feuded over direction of the film throughout its filming.
In an especially dramatic scene in the filming where Davis berates her "dull-but-decent doctor husband" (Joseph Cotten), Vidor demanded "greater vehemence" in her delivery. In response, Davis went to Jack Warner to ask that Vidor be replaced with another director, which Warner declined. Vidor was unaware of the request until the shooting was completed.
Davis’ complaints concerning Vidor had the opposite effect and spurred Warner executives to cancel her contract, a finale satisfactory to both parties.
