Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe patriarch and matriarch of the Hubbard family, Marcus and Lavinia, are played by real-life husband and wife Fredric March and Florence Eldridge who had previously teamed onscreen in The Studio Murder Mystery (1929), Les Misérables (1935) and Mary of Scotland (1936), the last-named being Eldridge's most recent screen credit prior to ''Another Part of the Forest''. Subsequently Eldridge and March would re-team in An Act of Murder (1948) (also starring Edmond O'Brien), Christopher Columbus (1949), and - again as married Southerners - Inherit the Wind (1960), these three films comprising Eldridge's entire cinematic career subsequent to ''Another Part of the Forest''.

Featured review
Great Prequel to Little Foxes
ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST, 1948. This is the prequel to THE LITTLE FOXES, both written by Lillian Hellman.
Though not nearly as well known as its predecessor it's still a riveting movie about some really nasty people. The Hubbards of Alabama are a ruthless scheming family and the wonderful cast plays it to the hilt.
Fredric March is the patriarch, Florence Eldridge plays his long suffering wife (they were real life husband and wife). Ann Blyth plays a young Regina and though not as villainess as Bette Davis gives a performance to rival her turn as Veda three years earlier in MILDRED PIERCE. Rounding out the cast are Dan Duryea as Oscar, Edmond O'Brien as Ben and Betsy Blair as Birdie. All are excellent.
Michael Gordon is not William Wyler but his direction is excellent and he keeps the camera moving supplying some needed action to a very dense script.
It plays out like a combination between a Greek tragedy and Eugene O'Neill.
If you like your drama heavy, dark, nasty and dripping with moss, molasses, maple and magnolia then check this out.
