Ourselves Alone (released in the US as River of Unrest)[1][2] is a 1936 British drama film depicting a love story set against the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence.

Irish Police Inspector Hannay and British Captain Wiltshire of the Royal Intelligence Corps are both in love with Maureen Elliot, a sister of the IRA leader.

Hannay realises that Maureen is in love with Wiltshire and, as a final gesture, takes the blame for shooting her brother himself.

One of the earliest reviews (on 10 May 1936) identifies this film as director, Brian Desmond Hurst's breakthrough film, under the banner headline Hitchcock... Capra.... Desmond-Hurst " on B.I.P's "little heard of" 'Ourselves Alone' it states "Remarkably little publicity concerning this production has reached the public, but among those concerned in the business (this time I won't say 'racket') whispers have gone round, like they often do, that it would be worth watching.

A reviewer in the Irish Times (17 August 1936) under the heading 'Film of the year' stated "If there was any betting on film results I would like to have a little flutter on Ourselves Alone".
