It was shot at Southall Studios and was also known by the alternative title Knockshinnoch Story. The filmmakers used actors from the Glasgow Citizen's Theatre.[2] Cast
Critical receptionIn a contemporary review, The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "in its semi-documentary, semi-impersonal way The Brave Don't Cry is an estimable achievement, effectively sustaining the dramatic tension and sketching its characters with directness and a refreshing absence of mannerisms. Its limitations are the limitations of its genre - dramatic reportage rather than personal statement, observation without passion. The method works very well for many of the scenes, but the more emotional moments tend to seem either theatrical or (as in the case of Mrs. Sloan's reunion with her husband) conventionally understated. In its genre, though, the film stands quite high, and it gains greatly from the use of unfamiliar players. There are particularly good performances from Fulton Mackay, Jameson Clark, Jean Anderson and John Rae; and the folk song used over the credits and at the end - there is no background music - is highly effective."[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/27561|title=The Brave Don't Cry (1952) - BFI|work=BFI|accessdate=30 July 2015}} 2. ^Harper & Porter p.187 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/greenman2008/2486522550|title=The Brave Don't Cry (Philip Leacock, 1952)|publisher=}} Bibliography
