Forbidden Cargo (1954 film)

Forbidden Cargo is a 1954 British crime film directed by Harold French[3] and starring Nigel Patrick, Elizabeth Sellars and Jack Warner.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Made to a familiar pattern, this thriller wavers between a semi-documentary account of Customs methods and such melodramatic excitements as the final car chase.

"[9] Allmovie wrote, "Apart from the always delightful Joyce Grenfell, Forbidden Cargo is humorless Dragnet material transplanted to the high seas";[10] Sky Cinema noted a "workmanlike British thriller from the Fifties, directed by Harold French, has a documentary feel, with some crisp dialogue by Sydney Box.

Other stalwarts appearing include Elizabeth Sellars and Terence Morgan as brother-and-sister smugglers, Jack Warner, Greta Gynt, Michael Hordern and Eric Pohlmann, particularly good as a Polish racketeer.

Patrick is supported by a cast of British stalwarts that includes Joyce Grenfell (as a bird-watcher named Lady Flavia Queensway), Elizabeth Sellars, Jack Warner and Terence Morgan.
