Forgotten Women (1949): cast, story & where to watch
1949 · Film
Released in 1949, Forgotten Women is a drama film directed by William Beaudine, running about 65 minutes.
What it’s about. A tale of three women who hang out in a bar and bend the ear of Harry the bartender. Kate Allison drinks to forget playboy Andy Emerson, whom she might have married if her husband, John Allison hadn't come home before the divorce was final, which is no big deal as actors Norris and Douglas were pretty much interchangeable anyway; Ruth Marshall is reunited with husband Richard Marshall on the pleas of their son in the divorce court of Judge Donnell; and Clair Dunning makes up with husband Bill Dunning after they meet in the bar. Most of what passes for action is a couple of car wrecks, understandable considering the amount of sauce consumed in Harry's bar.
Who’s in it. Forgotten Women stars Elyse Knox as Kate Allison, Edward Norris as Andy Emerson, Robert Shayne as Richard Marshall and Theodora Lynch as Ruth Marshall, among others.
