PlotThe stately White Cradle Inn lies in a picturesque valley in the Swiss Alps. For generations it has been the property of the family of innkeeper Magda (Madeleine Carroll), who now lives there with her philandering husband Rudolph (Michael Rennie). It is WWII, and an orphan named Roger (Michael McKeag) is billeted with the couple, as are many French children evacuated to families in the valley. When the time comes for the children to return to France, Magda is keen to adopt Roger, but Rudolph has taken a dislike to him, calling him a coward. Rudolph only finally agrees to sign the adoption papers if Magda will make over ownership of the Inn to him. She agrees to do this, but when the boy, anxious to prove he is no coward, urges Rudolph to take him on a climbing trip to the mountains, it is a journey that will have fatal consequences. Cast
Critical receptionIn a contemporary review, Variety commented that "the characters here rarely come to life" - criticising direction and performances, before concluding, "Madeleine Carroll may prove something of a draw, but the picture will need plenty of selling, both here and in America";[7] while more recently, TV Guide wrote, "The chances for a strong drama here were excellent, but the treatment never lives up to the potential. The actors give weak characterizations, never injecting the needed emotion for the story to work. There is some good-looking Alpine scenery, but this doesn't compensate for the film's weaknesses";[8] whereas the Radio Times noted, "Despite Ian Hunter offering Carroll gallant support as the local doctor, the performances are slightly strained, with McKeag being a weak link. But the dénouement is authentic and tense."[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/white-cradle-inn-1970-0|title=WHITE CRADLE INN - British Board of Film Classification|website=www.bbfc.co.uk}} 2. ^Vincent Porter, 'The Robert Clark Account', Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Vol 20 No 4, 2000 p 484 3. ^http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/57901 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pinewoodgroup.com/production/white-cradle-inn|title=White Cradle Inn - Pinewood filming location|website=www.pinewoodgroup.com}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/fcdq9f/white-cradle-inn/|title=White Cradle Inn – review - cast and crew, movie star rating and where to watch film on TV and online|website=Radio Times}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zOp2WxH5yscC&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq=White+Cradle+Inn+1947&source=bl&ots=u25kQ8rjt3&sig=5vt_xtcMOAZ3L0sT67FbKwIFDzw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw_5yRnbLWAhXBA8AKHUdJCcQ4HhDoAQhDMAY#v=onepage&q=White+Cradle+Inn+1947&f=false|title=Banned in the U.S.A.: British Films in the United States and Their Censorship, 1933-1966|first=Anthony|last=Slide|date=15 December 1998|publisher=I.B.Tauris|via=Google Books}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/variety166-1947-04|title=Variety (April 1947)|first=|last=Variety|date=21 September 2017|publisher=New York, NY: Variety Publishing Company|via=Internet Archive}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/high-fury/review/100881/|title=High Fury|website=TVGuide.com}} External links
