Forbidden is a lost[1] 1919 American silent drama film directed by Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley and starring Mildred Harris, who was billed as Mrs. Charles Chaplin.

The picture was produced and distributed by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company.

As described in Exhibitors Herald,[4] a film industry trade paper, Maddie Irwin (Harris), tired of living in the country, marries Fred Worthington (Henry Woodward), a childhood sweetheart long cherished as her idol but gone for five years to the city.

Soon they become almost estranged by her desire to live in the city and his aversion to things metropolitan, born of a disappointment in love.

She learns to paint and powder, and his efforts to disgust her with that life fail.
