About The Forbidden Woman
A colonel of the French army in North Africa believes his brother, a sensitive musician, to be in love with the colonel's wife and so arranges for his brother to be drafted into the colonel's own corps. Unknown to either is the fact that the colonel's wife is actually an Arab spy.
Directed by Paul L. Stein, The Forbidden Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Jetta Goudal, Victor Varconi, Joseph Schildkraut — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1927.
