Frieda is a 1947 British drama film directed by Basil Dearden and starring David Farrar, Glynis Johns and Mai Zetterling.

[2] Made by Michael Balcon at Ealing Studios, it is based on the 1946 play of the same title by Ronald Millar who co-wrote the screenplay with Angus MacPhail.

Frieda meets his family: his mother, his small stepbrother Tony, Judy, the attractive widow of Robert's brother, and Aunt Eleanor, a figure in local politics and vehemently anti-German.

As Robert settles into a new life, working with Frieda on a farm, he begins to lose his prisoner-of-war heaviness.

But then they see a film dealing with the horror of Bergen-Belsen and Frieda fears their marriage will not survive its revelation of her countrymen's cruelty.

However, she soon realises that he has remained a Nazi at heart, his wedding present to Frieda being a swastika on a chain.

[4][5] According to Kinematograph Weekly the 'biggest winner' at the box office in 1947 Britain was The Courtneys of Curzon Street, with "runners up" being The Jolson Story, Great Expectations, Odd Man Out, Frieda, Holiday Camp and Duel in the Sun.
