My Brother Jonathan is a 1948 British drama film directed by Harold French and starring Michael Denison, Dulcie Gray, Ronald Howard and Beatrice Campbell.

[5] The film was part of an attempt to relaunch major production by ABPC following the Second World War.

[citation needed] The story revolves around the life of Jonathan Dakers, a small-town doctor.

He buys a share in Dr. Hammond's general practice in Wednesford, a poor foundry town in the north.

He maintains a relationship with Edie, writing to her as she winters in Monte Carlo on the French Riviera.

He is killed leaving Edie pregnant but unmarried so Jonathan returns to her and marries her to preserve respectability.

He writes a report criticising the condition of the foundry and buildings the workers live in but Craig, who is also the local Health Officer, deliberately mislays it.

[6] The film was a big hit on release, being the third most popular movie at the British box office in 1948.

[1][11] According to another account as of 1 April 1950 the film earned distributor's gross receipts of £226,362 in the UK of which £142,813 went to the producer.

Yet Denison's clipped tones and stiff acting style and Gray's mousey loyalty turned this into a respectable hit. ...
