In Yorkshire, a foundling is adopted by a family which has a son and a daughter: the first seeks to oppress him, with the second commences a passionate love.
Solidly made, with some excellent photography, and acting, the film is too bound by British politeness to touch the elements of madness than animate Bronte's book.

The Lady Says No (1952): review: 5/10
Priggish Dorinda Hatch writes a book advising women to abstain from relations with men. David Niven plays the oily journalist whose dubious charms overcome her principles.
Enjoyable because of Niven's charm, with a few good one-liners.
