Directed by the great Basil Dearden (The Bells Go Down, The Gentle Gunman), Cage of Gold is a stylish post-war set crime drama starring Jean Simmons (Guys and Dolls, Spartacus), David Farrar (Black Narcissus, The Small Back Room), and James Donald (Gift Horse, The Bridge on the River Kwai). Produced by Ealing Studios, with moody cinematography from the great Douglas Slocombe, Cage of Gold sees Jean Simmons torn between her ex-lover back from the dead and her dependable new husband. Jean Simmons’ costumes were designed by Frederick Starke for her 21st birthday party and then reused in the film.
