Both films are based on the 1930 play The Barretts of Wimpole Street by Rudolf Besier. The screenplay for the 1957 film is credited to John Dighton, but Franklin used exactly the same script for the second movie as he did for the first. The film, set in the early 19th century, stars Jennifer Jones, John Gielgud, and Bill Travers. ## Credits - **Director:** [Sidney Franklin](https://cinepixo.com/people/sidney-franklin) - **Screenplay:** [John Dighton](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-dighton) - **Original Music Composer:** [Bronisław Kaper](https://cinepixo.com/people/bronis-aw-kaper) - **Producer:** [Sam Zimbalist](https://cinepixo.com/people/sam-zimbalist) ## Cast - [Virginia McKenna](https://cinepixo.com/people/virginia-mckenna) - [John Gielgud](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-gielgud) - [Leslie Phillips](https://cinepixo.com/people/leslie-phillips) - [Maxine Audley](https://cinepixo.com/people/maxine-audley) - [Jennifer Jones](https://cinepixo.com/people/jennifer-jones) - [Jean Anderson](https://cinepixo.com/people/jean-anderson) - [Laurence Naismith](https://cinepixo.com/people/laurence-naismith) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
