The Woman Between is a 1931 British drama film directed by Miles Mander and featuring performances by Owen Nares, Adrianne Allen, and David Hawthorne. This production was created by British International Pictures, the foremost studio of its time, with filming taking place at Elstree Studios. The screenplay, adapted by Mander, is based on the 1925 play Conflict written by Miles Malleson. The film stands out for addressing sexual and political subject matter during a period of somewhat relaxed regulation from the BBFC. It was among three films with similar themes starring Allen during that era, alongside Loose Ends and The Stronger Sex.
Premise
A young woman of aristocratic background finds herself emotionally divided between two former university friends who are political rivals in an election, representing the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. Both suitors carry controversial histories—one has a record of petty theft, while the other cohabited with the heroine outside wedlock. Meanwhile, her father observes the changing values of youth with a sense of bewilderment.
