Mai Zetterling, David Farrar, Flora Robson, and Glynis Johns star in Frieda from 1947.
Farrar is a pilot who brings his fiancé, a German woman, home to England, after she helps him escape.
The war is still going on, and she is not welcome. Farrah's sister (Robson) is running for office. When asked about the presence of Frieda, she says that just by virtue of Frieda being German, she bears the same sins as the Nazis.
Meanwhile, Robson encourages her brother's widow (Johns) to try to get Farrar away from Frieda.
Once the war ends, things become easier for Frieda, and she is accepted by the community.
One day her brother (Albert Levein) appears. He gives her a necklace with a swastika on it.
Good story of facing prejudice and coming to terms, for Frieda, of the horrible events that took place in her country.
Very good performances as some harsh realizations come to light for all involved.
