Plot
A young woman, Judith Moray, deserts her prospective fiancé, the nice doctor Alan Kearn, for an old flame, the dashing but roguish former wing commander Bill Glennan. Glennan makes her pregnant and marries her, but leaves her on the morning after the wedding when he learns that her father can't offer him financial support. Two years later she - having been told that Glennan is dead - has married Kearn and borne him a son. But then Glennan suddenly reappears and begins to blackmail her.
Reception
Cage of Gold premiered on 21 September 1950 at Odeon Marble Arch in London, replacing the Burt Lancaster comedy Mister 880. The reviewer for The Times wasn't overly impressed, writing: "Ealing Studios normally know what they are about, and in an admirably objective programme note they frankly admit that Cage of Gold breaks completely away from what they call their 'semi-documentary' style and is 'emotional melodrama'. The description can be accepted. ... It all runs efficiently to its rules and time-table and, oddly enough, Miss Simmons acts better here than in So Long at the Fair."
A critic in the British film magazine Picture Show, wrote that the film is "lavishly staged and efficiently directed, but the characters are somewhat stereotyped."
After the US première on 18 January 1952, The New York Times reviewer wrote: "Cage of Gold ... is a polished, often suspenseful British version of the familiar old Enoch Arden yarn. The fact that it doesn't come off on the whole is not only disappointing but downright annoying. For even with some serious shortcomings, here is a quality product, as might be expected from Michael Balcon, who has produced more than his share of top-notch imports. This one has, at least, all the top-notch trimmings. The photography is excellent, Basil Dearden's direction is slick as a whistle and the acting of the cast, headed by Jean Simmons and David Farrar, is almost consistently good. ... Sadly, though, the picture as a whole is a letdown".
