Cage of Gold is a 1950 British drama film directed by Basil Dearden, and starring Jean Simmons, David Farrar, and James Donald.

[3] 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.

[1] 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'.

[5] After the US première on 18 January 1952, The New York Times reviewer Howard Thompson wrote: "Cage of Gold ... is a polished, often suspenseful British version of the familiar old Enoch Arden yarn.

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.
