Another Part of the Forest (film)

Another Part of the Forest is a 1948 American drama film starring Fredric March and directed by Michael Gordon. The screenplay by Vladimir Pozner is based on the 1946 play of the same name by Lillian Hellman, which was a prequel to her 1939 drama The Little Foxes.

Thomas M. Pryor of The New York Times called the film a compelling entertainment and added, Vladimir Pozner has preserved the spirit of the play in his screen treatment and Michael Gordons direction gives a fluency to scenes which might easily have become static due to the profuseness of the dialogue.Time said, Under Michael Gordons direction it is a nearly perfect example of how to film a play. There is hardly a shot which does not set up visual tension against the lashing, steelspring dialogue there is not a single performance which is short of adequate the work of Miss Eldridge, Mr. OBrien and Betsey Blair, as a shakyminded neighbor, is much more. ........
