  1. Madonna of the Seven Moons is a 1945 British Gainsborough melodrama but melodrama is hardly an adequate word to describe this truly bizarre film. It's beyond mere melodrama. Over-the-top, outrageously excessive, a delight from start to finish.

  2. The Man in Grey (1943), first of the great Gainsborough British melodramas.

    With James Mason as a dissipated, cruel dangerous nobleman and Margaret Lockwood doing the bad girl thing as only she could.

    Packs as much twisted romance and illicit sexuality into its running time as it can. An out-and-out melodrama and an unashamed bodice ripper but very stylish and great fun.
